    Is there no vent over the cook-top on the island -- and what is the cooking contraption under the hood?

    That is very beautiful.. What an awesome project. Nice work ..

    You must be an expert in washing the dust out of your clothes.. Lots of stains ?

    (just occurred to me that not everyone wears a white t-shirt to mill bloodwood)

    That would be an indoor BBQ. The vent pops up behind the stove top when you want it.

    Wow. That is spectacular!

    I love the way bloodwood looks, but the one time I played with it, I had a devil of a time resawing. Stuff warped like crazy when cut in half, even though it was well seasoned. Must have been a lot of internal tensions in the wood, or something to do with the density. Given how much you have now used... Did I get some kind of particularly awful piece, or is it all like that?
