I feel so fortunate. . . 

This looks so good, Mark! 

beautiful wood, good luck working with it

Thank you for the kind words! I love the look of white walnut, too. I've never worked with it, but it is being really well behaved so far!

I went down to GA to help a builder clean up his shop. He'd been exposed to so much wood dust that he has developed a lot of medical issues and cannot build anymore. I try to take a lot of precautions, for sure!

Big smiles to you!

This is really a WOW for sure.  Thanks for showing us the wood, parts, cutting up....and now this last frame.  fantastic!!! I love the looks of Walnut....but I've been told by a lot of woodworkers that breathing that sawdust is really bad for you....so please take care in your sanding and all that.  Such beautiful pieces of woods can only sound marvelous when done!!!  Keep us posted.  aloha, irene
