987Ron. Thanks the timber is possibly the only one i know of that has fantastic features (and defects) that make it such a spectacular timber to work with, a killer on tools because of its hardness but the finish result is worth the effort.
Pottz. Agree sadly my supply is depleting and the chances of ever replacing it are almost nil.
Little black Duck. Always an puzzling enigma with your comments but it stimulates the brain and other parts.
Crowie. I wouldn't fill the defects out of interest, mainly because it has survived so far, no doubt its fragile being that thin but it is what it is .
Incidentally there is a memorial flag service for my brother David at the Carillion on friday 28 April by 9 RAR which I will attempt to attend, I will have to drive so if you have and timber needs let me know.
SplinterGroup. Thank you understand fully time will tell I guess ...much the same as our bod, teeth hearing and sight!
Jim Jakosh. The dovetails are made with the Gifkins dovetail jig, I certainly don't have the skills to reproduce them like that, I will have to leave it to Dave P he is a wizz at it! What did you make with your timber? did you find that tungsten tipped was the way to go so it didn't ruin HSS tools?
