    I suppose it is bad for to create three replies in succession but I'm doing it anyway.

    It would appear I am over thinking the issues of making a bag. I thought that might be the case but until you...

    Joe's site was not taking orders temporarily.

    It is a Campbell-Hausfeld compressor, just branded Sears.

    The nose of the tank has totally different fitting than I imagined.

    I get why pulling from the bottom is a bad idea, I'll run a pipe...

    Thanks much.

    I figured that would be the case but wanted to others opinions.

    Ipe is hard as a stone; makes white oak and hard maple seem like butter - it would break the pins of a moisture meter I am sure.

    If I decide to sell this - commissioned only - I will ask for their...

    It is a bit over the top for the patio.
    My wife is going to order a cover for it.
    It will be stored inside during winters.

    Not terribly difficult in regard to grain, etc. It IS terribly difficult in regard to wear on tools, possible lung irritation, and a misery to sand.

    With that said, I will likely use it again...

    Definitely a different wood.

    Ipe, Cumaru, and Tiger wood are all very popular for decks.

    I think Cumaru is prettier than Ipe, and I really like Tiger as well, thus my title for the thread.
