    I am wondering what steps are needed to go from the pic in post 74 to the pic in post 100? My woodworking tool of choice is a chainsaw so doing any kind of work shown is totally out of the question. I may not be the only one who is lacking in woodworking skills.

    That's a great piece of art, John. You, sir, are a master craftsman.
    Excellent job. It would be an honor to work with you on a project like that.

    I have a sliding Excalibur table on my Delta Unisaw. Once the blank was glued up i cut one end off at 30° with my sliding table. Then just cut 2" strips using the fence. Then glue back together and flip over every other strip.

    Looks like I will be absent from Hawg Days this year. Doesn't look like my work schedule is going to line up with being able to go away that weekend.

    I was texting with Steve this afternoon. He said that him and I should just trade prizes and get that out of the way early. Then everyone else can fight over everything else. LOL.

    We wouldn't do that but i did tell him he was a genius. I already have one of his knives. I would gladly buy more from him. And if he doesn't win the cutting board maybe Santa will bring him one for Christmas. LOL
