I was hoping no one would catch on to that. I ran out of good wood
and had to raid the burn pile

But seriously, I think the walnut on the front of one of them was from
a section most people would have cut out and tossed in the burn pile,
perhaps with a bit of regret. Big ol' knot and a punky spot
surrounded by nice figure. On a different day I might not stop to
save it myself.

Congrats on the restraint and end product, Kevin. Well done.

virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of
mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?"
