Way too cool.

I'm a bit of a Civil War and Lincoln buff. I've read extensively on the
war in modern and period books (I collect the latter). Some of the most
engaging history I've read has been the battle between the Merrimack
and the Monitor as the Ironclads were first introduced. I've honestly
never heard of the Neuse but now have something more to learn about.

This was very cool for me to see Civil War history intertwined with
woodworking. It's kind like titty skin and beer!
