A classic, woody tone that represents tradition.

I to love Ipswich Pine could probably go out to the shop and find a couple of qts. Not doing it at this time of night with a major storm over us.

Latest bent-lam inside radius trim effort looking better. Some process refinements still to be made but my confidence is growing. Fun learning new stuff like this.

Thanks. 9 layers of veneer laid up with gorilla glue.
I'm thinking that if I darken it a bit, against the oyster white deck, it will really "pop" and give it a pretty shippy look, which is what us puritans from New England are always after.
