Wow…this was the project that was supposed to be laughed at…

Scrapple, 987Ron, Steve & MikeB…thanks for your kind words. They’re much appreciated…and that kind of input will likely get me posting more…given we all can use a little pat on the back occasionally! 

Splinter…You absolutely crack me up…always look forward to your posts and your humor.  You’ve now got me contemplating a final finishing step using applewood smoked bacon. ; ) 
If you’re so inclined, I would love to see something you create from your cedar. 

Wildwood!…I pulled up my plaid big boy pants, put on my striped shirt, my fat white belt, penny loafers and paisley tie and felt just fine about your opinion. Mainly because I don’t disagree with it either. The red tones will mellow and the piece will hopefully become a little less unnerving with time….or not. It’ll be interesting to see…who knows, maybe the wife will actually let me bring it into the house…

Best to all….

If I didn’t laugh at myself, I’d lose my mind.
