My friend Ron did not waste any time, this project was started 3 weeks ago, got a phone call that it was finished! He didn't disappoint me with it, I gave him free reign aside from wanting a darker color with grain in it. He chose to use Wenge, a wood from Central Africa. The color of the wood is in it's natural state, only a few coats of wax on it with no stain at all.
I was very impressed with the craftman-ship Ron put into it, thought it turned out to be a keeper for sure! I have a new puck of Heartfelt's on the way, using an older one till it gets here. The waiting game begins with seasoning it
Note: Got a pic of Ron with his project
