    Wow! You've done it again, Les. Nice job.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    How did you keep the paduk from bleeding on the maple when you sanded it?

    I used paduk and maple on a box before. I sanded and the maple ended up with some rusty overtones.

    Not a problem when the Padauk lid is a separate piece from the maple bowl and maple lid knob.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
