Whoa! Neat information. I will give it a try on some cutoffs from the blank. This wood has a real red tint as you can see, comes from the soil mineral content.

Josh Randle was my favorite back in the TV "Wanted Dead or Alive" days. Hated it when Steve McQueen passed.

I have a lot of this wood, air cured 15 years, my private stash.

I have tons of witches brew formulas for stock finish, but I am on the eternal search for a really good Holy Grail Maple finish.

Thanks!!
