Thanks, All… truly, a labor of love – working with the Ash and Sapele, both a first for me, was gratifying – they machined well and finished bone-smooth prior to applying the lacquer. I stopped counting the hours invested; if I did this for a living, I’d qualify as a starving artist.

David – the view is the Chesapeake Bay – 9 miles wide, where we live. We’re long-term residents; and have really enjoyed the good days and braced for destruction the rest of the time.

Everyone, Take Care.
Mike
