>Bert,

Since you can't whack it up into useful pieces for EVERYONE, how's about if you make something pretty and then post pix and comentary about what you learned. THAT is actually what this joint is all about.

[Of, course if you reeeely insist, drop the "2" from the address to let me know and I'll send you my address.]

>Ditto on what mark said. We help because others have helped us.and nothing makes us happier than to see someone produce work that they are proud of. My sister still has one of my first clocks. Boy have I improved.

One of my fellow artists once said. Don't every give a bad or mediocre piece to your mom. You'll have to live with it forever. Of course I was proud of that clock then. Maybe I'll get a photo next time I'm in Atlanta.

That would be kind of fun. How about it guys. Are you willing to show an old piece and a new piece to show how far you've come. I won't get to Atlanta for a few more months but I may have a photo of an old piece I can scan. I'll look tonight.

>Okay, Bert, that's 2 votes for sending the wood here . . . |;-}}}}}

John, I have this problem, I have to find an "old" piece but CRS Syndrome has intervened and I didn't write down know who I gave'em to or whether SWMBO just used'em for kindling (doesn't do that any more, at least).

>John- that's an interesting comment about our Moms. When mine died 2 yrs. ago, I found she still had the first bowl I turned in shop class in 1958! And of course it was the usual ugly glue-up of scraps of cherry, poplar, and walnut, and the hide glue joints had failed.

I was talking to a friend one night he had problems remembering something. He said I'm having CRI tonight. I said "what"? He said you can't remember sh#t. I laughed and said you can't spell either.
