Thanks guys.
Tama, I had to look up "chatoyancy" to see if the curly maple would have it and Yes it does big time. The grain on the piece pictured runs vertically and the bars going horizontally only show up when held a certain way and only when wet or finished. It really is Spectacular wood.Thanks..
Conga, hopefully it will be fun with No Bandaids as in Coon Tiki(except for Swanky)Thanks
Thanks Tiedye, I am looking for excellent stuff from the Curly Maple.
Tgap, thanks, I agree,
Moki, thanks, looks like the time is getting shorter and shorter, Hell, I'm Al;most at the boarding gate now!
Pappy Thanks, I'm hangin'
McTiki, I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but I
'm having a lot of fun.
GMAN, all they did was clear up a little clowding and Haloing which took all of 3 minutes, although I was there 90 minutes so they could dilate the eye. When it wasn't opening fast enough, they dumped the whole bottle in and sprung it right open to the max.. That was at 9am and it didn't get back to normal by the time I went to bed at 11pm.
Feels much better today.
