Well to start I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pics of the actual event but I do have them of the end product. I finally got to visit Mark Cothren in Conway today. Unfortunately, I was only able to visit with Mark for an hour and a half or so and I got to meet his lovely wife, Renell. Mark has a great 24' x 30' foot spacious shop and it is well organized. Anyway it was a great visit in my book. The pics show the wood. On the left are 5 chunks of black cherry, then a black cherry crotch (for a platter) then a chunk of pecan and the last one is hackberry.
THANKS MARK !!!!!!!

Man, I came home from work today and noticed somebody had broken into my shop and stole some of my wood...:eek:

After I got thru filing a police report I come on here and see Keith posted that he came by for a visit. And then I see my missing wood....

Enjoyed the visit, Keith! And for the record, that is a chunk of Pecan on the left side, sitting on top of those two pieces of Cherry. The piece that is second from the right is Birch from Kentucky.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
