OK, I was dreading going back to the bandsaw to even cut bracing, much less back and sides. Some of you may remember my mis-hap a few weeks ago resluting in some pretty bad lacerations, a broken finger, and a very bruised ego.javascript:AddSmileyIcon('')

Well this morning I got up the courage to go from this......
to this
two ziricote backs, one pair of ziricote sides,the cocobolo side set is the side that is wedged in the bandsaw in the first picture and caused the injury ( I got that sucker!), two sitka tops, and a very plain jane taz blackwood back from a board I snuck home from Sydney last year.
I've decided that the lennox tri-master and I just can't get along together so its relegated to hanging on the wall. For the little bit of resawing I have to do, Woodslicers will do just fine.
So glad to get this behind me and thanks to all for the well wishes.
best regards,
