you know, you could live for a month off what some tolkein fan would pay for this.
Nice work, indeed. Curious to know how pecan ages. Does is naturally turn darker, or will it take the handling of oily human hands to give it that "final" look over the years? Looks good as it...but I'd like to see it in, say, fifty years or so, particularly if it's been well-used. Enjoyed taking a look at Crackhead Bob's site; you're obviously hooked into some very creative people. Drop a line when you have a minute. Bill Painter voicepro@bigriver.net
Bill Painter! Hey, remember me? I was Wayne's curly-haired toady!
