Hey welcome to TG!  I grew up in NE Ohio, Fairport Harbor/Painesville/Madison specifically.  Ten years of military duty have kept me away from the beautiful state and I'm anxious to settle down there again...just 10 more years, hehe.  I'm working on my first Osage stave, and the laminates interest me, one step at a time.  Looking forward to seeing what you have to share with us.
