I used a piece of maple that I cut last fall.  I love working with this stuff.

That's beautiful work Eddie. That will get me up and down the hills and creek bottoms in style. I'm going to have to do something special to make up for that.
Thank you very much. >>>------> Fred
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Thanks.  Ben I will be there just as soon as i can talk my wife into taking a few weeks off to drive out there.  Flying would be easier but she wont set foot on planes.
