    Very N-I-C-E. Really like the shape of the opening. How long did you let it soak in the DNA - and then how long to dry before you finish turned it?

    Dennis,

    Since the pieces are between 3-4" thick would you resaw them again and make two pieces from each one if you were making a platter or wall hanging?
