Putting a LIQUID ASS advert right there as you walk in the door is just shameless pandering.
These are my people. They KNOW me. They UNDERSTAND.
How can it not be my new favorite store?

I threatened the idiot who sprayed that into the intake for the building AC with spraying the entire bottle up his left nostril if he ever did that again. That stuff is vile.
 
because you're further North.
And closer to the international date line.
maybe
No excuse!!! I'm in Canada and breathlessly counting down the next 9 days before I'm willing to see the first Jack-O-Lanterns!!
[...as it is I'm still fearful to look around the world or online because of the 'Pumpkin Spice' everything that I already have to tolerate around my favourite holiday!]

Put yer thinking caps on a name this wood. Kinda red/orange, dense like walnut. From my late FIL’s stash. He was going to use to make knife handles I think

Mahogany or California redwood?
Much too heavy for mahogany, and the pores are not as prominent, at least on the mahogany samples I also have at hand. But that's a really good thought and I can see your point in picking mahogany.
Not a clue, but maybe https://woodidentification.net/about/ might be useful.
that led me to diff places online and I'm now thinking it is Paduak, which means I should have used a damned mask when sanding.

Warning for others, the toxicity is allergy related more than anything.

Well if you didn't have a reaction that isn't uncommon.. but if you do react to it then you likely have figured out that it is indeed padauk
 
My deepest apologies for nagging but I thought I might have had it and so came back for another look but the server seems to be under a bit of a load and it took forever for the image to load after 3 fails. Maybe some of that is on my fibre-service providers side, maybe some of that is on my aging hardware side.
To be clear: I Love you Lot! I Love to look at the pics...BUT: Could you PLEASE shrink the image size? It doesn't take 5MB to show the detail that can be shown for most of these images in 50kB or less.
Sorry to nag. ...maybe it's just me.

Thanks! ...though, not to point fingers but your original image was 1.5mb.....on my previous attempts it was the far larger images in earlier posts that plugged the plumbing.. it never made it down to yours! :p
I hate being a nag, but I also don't talk behind people's backs and thought that the membership in general might find this to be useful input.
:thumbsup:
EDIT: Oh I forgot!!! I thought it might be Cherry, but now I don't think so. (I'm still relearning stuff)
 
When I lived in NY we had a cottage in the Thousand Islands region. There were quite a few cottages/summer homes like the one above, where you better not be a sleepwalker.

This impresses me as something that sounds amazing and beautiful and tranquil and lovely... right up until you actually have to deal with the reality of living on a rock that's scarcely bigger than your house. To each, his own. 🙂

Yeah, I couldn’t do it either. Our cottage was on an island, nearly 10 miles long though, with a bridge connecting it to the mainland and room to roam.

Agree completely. There's no place to play Kubb.
