Gotcha, a nice mix, is the dogwood what they would have used back when? The Spalted Maple is just for showin off it's good looks, which I like.
I always thought Matt Bickford used Beech for his, but I could be dreaming. I remember the days when a full set of his work was around $1,000.00, I imagine every guy looking at his stuff wishes they still were. I looked into going that way back then, then said Nahhh, I have a router table I love. All that pushing sounds a lot like work. :-)
