John, I knew gettin you to OJam would pay benefits for you. You have a DFOB there! You did a nice job finishing it up. Congratulations and have you started another one yet? Ralph

Ralph I have started one for my Dad as a surprise from the sister stave from this one. It's not quite as snaky but I think it will make a nice bow. I will probably be PMing you with questions when it comes time to tiller. With Jake playing baseball and me coaching there's not much time to work on it.

I will be building one in a month.  I would be proud if mine comes close to yours.  Nice job.  What did you use for the shelf.
