Thanks guys for the kind words...
Adrian, its a yellow pine... I have a lot of that left... this one was tough in spots around the knots... the wood grain grows in a circular pattern and it harder to remove than the straight grain... the dry air combined with splintering pine has really bloodied the hands... two weeks off and I've gone soft...

As I said, just an experimental stage, I expect to return to traditional and am dying to try my hand at some Vanuatu stuff after watching Survivor...
