Keith, I'm a big fan of your boxes and finials. You have BIG skills! BTW, did you reach that big birthday yet? Mine's in October...

Very Beautiful. I like it very much. Is there a specific reason you've done the piece segmented?

Thanks guys for your comments. Kurt, I'm no sure which big birthday you are talking about but I just had one with a 1 behind the first number.

Angelo, good to see you here again. The reason I segmented it is thats the only way to have all face grain showing.

Ah! that makes perfect sense! Then you get an even distribution of the fleck pattern that I like so much.

I've been around, just not making any comments. Thank you for your witness

Angelo
