I would use something with a tight grain pattern

 

Ebony would be good too...LOL

 

They didn't have any ebony there, said they've been having a hard time getting any in lately. There was a beautiful piece of African Paddock but only had my car and was afraid to ask how much it was but I have some of it here anyway..Next time I go down there I'll maybe pick up some more different stock depending on how much I get involved in making models again..

 

Probably have to order it online

 

Of course I had to keep hydrated!

 

Good evening Illinois, Shaun, Sean, John, and Don!

59° here today, I missed it, was in the shop. Finished making the chessboard base and got it installed. I need to get hinges, a catch, and the chess pieces.

 

Howdy Rick

You are late.. John couldn't wait...LOL

 

I just wanted to get a little bit more done on the chessboard.

 

No problem as long as you were not sleeping your life away...LOL

 

No was working it away.

I might drop in tomorrow night for awhile. I have to get cleaned out for the procedure at the horsepistol on Tuesday.

 

Oh yeah this is fun week for you...

How long you going to be in??

 

I asked my doctor why the long stay after the procedure. He said the colon goes into shock and stops working, so I'll be waiting to crap before I get to leave, three to five days. Guess you'll see me when you see me. LOL

 

OK just want to know when to send the dogs out looking for you..LOL

Take your time and get healthy..

 

Patty's hopping that I'm home by the weekend and I'm hopping sooner. LOL

 

Yeah don't rush it.. Enjoy the rest..LOL
