I would not rule out poplar, if you can find a nice piece it can have almost granite like appearance - Just avoid the ones with the greenish blotches.

What is this face shield supposed to protect us from? Something tells me you are a prime Fox News watcher? The "fake news" is really fake news you know... Lets not start with crass political muckraking in this forum of all places, considering the number of places you can go to spout [facebook, redd...

You got it right TR, having outlets for creativity and passion for sure makes for a happier camper ,, And a good attitude and mindset is essential especially in trying times, cannot be underrated. You can make yourself physically sick if you dwell on problems and bad news, not that these can or shou...

I appreciate all of your comments very much. Thank you. I have come to realize how much I rely on this community even though I have never met most of you in person. The current restrictions during this pandemic have no limitations on the strength this worldwide group. Now, time for more misadventur...

Glad you didn't hook up the TP to a belt sander !

Not saying it won't happen to you, maybe its a matter of sub species or the climate it is stored in, but don'...

I'll toss in a very lithos I did of famous people, all one offs.
Really don't remember selling them and am pretty sure I no longer have them, not sure what happened to them.
