Very nice Odie. I was just reading elsewhere about how oily thuya wood is. Did you have to modify your process at all to accommodate?

Thanks Michael.....:)

Yes, it caked up sandpaper really fast. Don't bother with it, just keep using fresh sandpaper. If the tool work is good, you don't use up too much sandpaper, but if not, you do!
