Well a friend came by with one of them new spangled cell phones with a camara on it. I stoped using cells with my exit from corporate America 2 years ago. I hope I never need to be so connected.

And well we took these grainy ass pics.

The wood Im unsure of. Someone told me it was an African tulip It grows all over the place here on Maui and is fairly light, like pine but a little harder. Any ways it had a bug problem and they clopped it down near my house. He stands about 14.5 inches and is 3.5 diameter at the bottom. I have 4 other nice pieces of wood from this tree and a piece of monkey pod I have yet to cut into so I'll have more on the way. The stain was a lite oak stain, I applied 2 coats.

I'll post some better pics latter. I'm working on a bigger one right now.
