    Thank you all. It was fun to make. I'm sure it won't be the last neanderthal project I build.

    Wait a second. I just reread what you wrote about resawing that piece. You used an 11 ppi saw?

    Yeah, you read it right. I used my 11pt D-23. Technically it was a crosscut rather than a resaw I guess. My arm felt like it was the same thing.

    Aha, now I see what you were cutting. It is rather thin also, so I see why you didn't want too much cleanup. Still, 11 ppi is probably too fine for my taste. I did a resaw last month, 4" deep and 7' long, and I was very happy with my 5 ppi ripper.

    Great work Stew, that's one beautiful piece of walnut! I love walnut with the contrasting sapwood. I hope you ate your spinach before resawing that with an 11 ppi saw!!!

    Very nice all around. Finish, design, execution. I like the delicate look.
