It sure came out nice.

I love using spalted woods, but they really mess up my sinuses. glad to see others taking advantage of nature's progress.

Oh I love that Del! I'll have to look at your photo album. I'm amazed at what can be made of different woods and the different processes of each.

Are you from the Woodworking forum? I no longer post there, but I still like to know what they make with different woods. I'm just a "lurker" there now!
