Sorry Arch.

I couldn't care less what my "peers" think, and I certainly doubt they
care what I think. Altogether too many "clubs", be they orchid
societies or woodturning organizations, are merely mutual admiration
societies and venues for (often only nominal) "experts" to stroke their
ego.

I spend an inordinate amount of time picking through available wood
(either in the lumber yard or in the wild) to find a stick that speaks
to me. In using that special piece I attempt to avoid "murder in the
woodshop". Only I know if I succed. And even if I do "It doesn't mean
**** to a tree" (Jefferson Airplane, 1969)
