Ed, that is a very nice piece! Beautiful colors and great curves, nice finish too. Do you have a different species of wood for each day of the year?

Ed, I'm alway impressed with your work, this is really nice. Wish I had half the choices of wood you do to work with.

Well thanks Rick, but I wish I could get burls,buckeye,maple,and others that are available to you there is expensive but available ,here we work with the stuff that the wood CO bring to lima we have to do a lot of hunting for good stuff and it gets very expensive in gas(nearly$5.00)a gallon and this wood places are very far from me (no delivery)
