Very likely something with wood!  Those new saws have to earn their keep!  Also, the exotic wood bin keeps calling! (lol). Now, to figure out what to make!

My project is 2/3rds done but I'm also having second thoughts...a wood worked i know talks about "being good is about not making mistakes. And knowing how to hide the mistakes..."

I'll see how my hiding works...P

Even though my project is done I'm still trying to figure out how to improve it.

What's everyone been working on.
I know one thing I'll be sending out with what I'm making will be a bottle of honey from my honey bees.

Trapper,
I have had good luck with 15# honey, 5 gallons spring water, and a prix de mousse yeast.  I think it is Lalvin 1178.  Dissolve the honey in hot water, cool the must to about 80f, pitch the yeast, seal it in a fermenter with an air lock, and let the yeast work until the must stops bubbling.  Btw, I use cheap vodka to seal the airlock (lol)!  Make sure everything is sanitized, bottle and it gets better with age!

Speaking of mead, make some Joe's Ancient Orange Mead. Stuff is awesome on a cold night, uses bread yeast. Really nice stuff.  Paul
