Nice work again David, BIG is the word.

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

Thank You!! Don and Leo It's about 1" taller than he is I had him help with the rings. He's helped turn some calls and pens and other little stuff.

Hey Staveman: that is really big. What a project! almost big enough to be an umbrella stand or a rifle hideout!!! Amazing ! Is there a secret m&m drawer? hope so...

Hey Michelle. I knew there was something missing. The M&M drawer is a GREAT Idea! I will have to make a vessel with a M&M top A RED one! Out of Bloodwood and inlay some white crushed stone for the M.
