Thanks, It is too bad that the beetle destroyed the American chestnuts. I heard that one time the chestnut trees occupied 1/3 of our nation forests. I could have got more, but every tree was damaged by wind shake.

Nice job Roger. My color blind eyes are wondering if this was bleached? Well done.

I was wondering the same thing Don asks about. All the chestnut I've turned is much darker. Lovely stuff and you did a very nice job with it. Well done buddy.

It was not bleach. Just wipe-on poly.
