Mike, I don't know what you say or what information you have on these builders that they seem to pull out the very best wood in the world for your builds but why don't you share your secret

Oh come on Mike. Infinity and beyond and all ... you know?

Actually Tom, I think he uses the phrase “No matter the cost” or “Money is no object”.

A really bright guy I once knew had a philosophy which rang true in more ways than I can count and had many applications. One time when we were at Pebble Beach staying at the Lodge overlooking the 18th green, I asked him why he chose such an expensive spot. He told me this...."Always go first class, just don't stay as long". That idea has found its way into my life in more ways than I can count...hence my low bank account ha!!

Default On the home stretch...

Yep, we're on the home stretch...shocking to get here so fast but heck i ain't complainin'

So, here it is hanging there just chillin' in the cure mode. It gets to hang in the curing closet very close to the new Visesnut case it will come to me in. I think the two are getting to know one another and discussing the sweet music they will make together ha!
