conga: thank you, yep i was striving for something simple and, hopefully, appealing :)

nomolos,drastic, lake: many thanks! I don't like carving this pine all that much, but have to admit the grain pattern can be really striking.

pennjones, pjc5150: much appreciated. i chose to leave this one a little on the light side to let the grain show through. however, i am staining the next one a bit darker just for fun. :)
