  Chuck Davis I also enjoyed the presentation. You can see he has paid some dues and learned a lot on the way to making what look like simple objects.

  Dan Lambert I thought the meeting presentation on Feb 1 was interesting, particularly how well the use of jigs and templates was demonstrated. Not many of us make 100 of any item, but the same basic concepts come into play for making 4 matching legs. Good presentation!

  Lenny Butler → JOHN PIETRELLA: Thanks John.  I appreciate it.  Happy New Year to you and yours.  I would appreciate it if you would let someone know that March needs to be covered for refreshments.  Perhaps the April person could move up.  Take care.  Lenny

  Lenny Butler Hi John.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I think I will contact them as my "second opinion".  I will probably have to send a sample piece or at least a photo of the wood.  Thanks again.

  Lenny Butler Hi Julian.  Thanks for the input.  The forestry expert basically said the same thing.  He advised me to make a fresh cut of end grain.  If I see rays, it's oak.  I saw rays.  I sent a photo to him and he wrote back that what I sent was definitely a photo ...  moreHi Julian.  Thanks for the input.  The forestry expert basically said the same thing.  He advised me to make a fresh cut of end grain.  If I see rays, it's oak.  I saw rays.  I sent a photo to him and he wrote back that what I sent was definitely a photo of oak.  As for making something, I don't prefer to keep it if it is oak.  Granted it is 213 years old but I have always wanted to make something from chestnut so, I want to continue that pursuit.  If I am unable to work out a reasonable return of money from the seller, I will try to sell the oak.  less
