    Wally,
    I have looked at that pic a few times now and it becomes nicer looking with every viewing. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. It is a stunning piece of work

    Very nice, I love the beading, extra nice!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    Very eye-catching. I like the visual effect between the beading and the grain.

    BL...Big leaf maple grows in the Pac. NW, where I lived for most of my life. Most of the maple burl as used by woodturners is BL maple. It is often highly figured...Most quilted and fiddleback maple is Big Leaf maple.
