Nicely done! Remember, though, that while yours was smaller than RN's, yours was also solid oak instead of rotting pine. Not casting dispersion on RN, just saying there seems to be enough...manliness (that sounded better than the other word I was looking for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> )...to go around. Looks like a big ol' time!

As an aside, I've long admired Bill's work--especially his damascus.
