    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Ivan,

    Magnífico! or should I say великолепный

    I am not a big fan of Art Deco etc, but on this occasion it would be easy to become one.

    Beautiful work as usual, Ivan. How did it feel carving the European ash? AFAIK it is not generally considered good for carving.

    That's right , Frank - even if it's softer that the American ash , it is still hard , with nasty grain , not unlike pine.I decided to use it only because there was not much to carve , and I wanted white(lighter than cedar) wood.(And the workshop is full of ash) The worst of all is sanding (exept flat boards) - the softer grain where the pores are just melts under the slightest touch with the sandpaper , while the harder parts stay proud . The good thing is it's over - now I'm back to ash , but this time it's veneer.....whats this world coming to?
