I'm going to be shipping late but on time.

I could easily finish off #1 or #2 and ship next week but I'm not going to. Who ever has my name can hold off and wait uintil my recipient has recieved. Won't bother me a damned bit.


Like it was said, on time is not late.  You'll be shipping later but on time.  Nobody that knows you would imagine you would do anything but best efforts.  Bowman53 and I haven't got your name on any watch lists. I am, however, looking forward to seeing what comes off the bench.

I could tell you, but then I would have to create yet another layer of secrecy and yet another list.

Front profile of the 2 which are being shot in and #3 in the press >:D

On the left is the spliced 12 yr old billets with all the checks on the back and on the right is another seasoned stave from my stash.

#3 has the dark reddish streaks in it and I'm thinking may (hopefully) be the nicest one of the bunch. Next couple of weeks should tell the story.

First attempt at straightening with a little dry heat on the form.  Probably work another couple of heat sessions before proceeding. Nice pristine back to work with but I'll be chasing one more ring before starting the floor tillering process.
