Yeah, quite the transformation in a year, ain't it?! Nice job on the Walnut! Quite frankly, your 1st attempt weren't really at all shabby, either! Kinda' funny in a way, 'cuz I've got a Walnut bowl of similar design sitting in a semi-completed state, which I just did a couple evenings ago. Still need to "tweak" it and finish sanding/oil. Anyhow, keep up the great work, only next time, don't make us wait a year in between! :cool:
