    Thanks so much George!  It's really nice to hear a glowing complement from this community where I learned all I know about woodworking!

    Fantastic CBG!!!   This is the look a lot of us strive to attain, but sadly, never reach.  This is truly a tribute to the heritage of the CBG!  Thanks for sharing such a masterpeice!
