I give my misfits to a great member of the club, Big Tim. He's learning the ropes and just got an airbrush.

I could go on but I'd get booted
Anyway you can see how the wood "unstraightened " itself. I thought that was interesting. I suppose if I'd quartered it it would hsvr been worse. I did quarter some wild grapevine and it warped itself something fierce
