338stalker...mighty fine fotos, especially of the pointy hole in the heartwood. You know how to enjoy your blades and your bourbon. I applaud as I was born and raised in distillery land...Kentucky.
I note that you haven't broke the seal on the Turkey. Before you do, acquire some Turkey 101, considered a best buy here according to bourbonenthusiast.com
Get you some Four Roses, Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace or Old Forrester Signature if it's available Down Under...
