Not particularly a fan of okra but didn't really grow up with it either. Love the rosette though and when nature inspires designs. Nicely done, Tim.

Best,
Jayne

As a native South Carolinian don't knock okra if you have tried it grilled over live coals on skewers. Brushed with EVO and sprinkled with course cracked salt and pepper. I'll eat in anyway it's cooked but this is my favorite! Cool idea Tim!

It’s a bit difficult to see all the detail now but it will be clearer soon... thanks for following along.

Thanks Dennis. It’s been a fun project. The box is closed now.

Hey thanks John.


Rosette trim rings are in and scraped. Now purflings and bindings today which is my least favorite task of the build.

The binding is on... phew... and the tape is coming off.

Leveling the binding on a belt sander. Yep, it’s a scary task but it saves a lot of scraping.

Hey Dustin,
I finally found time to listen to your recording and I was thoroughly impressed by your playing! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Thanks Dennis. I was able to get some pore filling and sealing done today while holed up in the shop and avoiding the crazy Black Friday madness.
