Truly amazing. Osage is not in great supply here in Europe, so that really is a save and a half. Great work!

Amazing. I wasnt expecting a static to be pulled out of that stave. Wow. Interesting how you leave an extra ring as a natural overlay. Huisme used to favour the extra ring overlay.

That turned out really nice Simon and the tiller looks very good even with those knots you had to work around.
I'd say you made lemonade out of that lemon.
