What a great thread. It's been like a good suspense flick with all the ups and downs and unexpected twists in the plot. 
I'm glad there's a happy ending! Awesome job Pat.

Nice  ... I was expecting it to be 150# having added to back and belly

Now that was a long story, but at least a good end. Congrats for that nice stick and thanks for all your postings - it shows what we all can do when problems are showing up.

Great work, Pat!

Thanks Simon. Unfortunately the lemonwood isn't the main character but it does seem to make a good core wood.

Haven't worked with lemonwood so far, hard to get it here. But thanks for your input, I will do so if I ever get my hands on lemonwood.
