So I am lucky enough to have an unbelievable supply of wood for handles. I am only interested in making wa handles. Though I have a ton of material for scales if I ever decide to go that route. The problem is, 50% of it is unfinished turned work from my lady's great grandpa and the other 50% of...

I ran across that before. Very SoCal focused but thanks for the reminder. I should join anyways just to contribute what I can.

Oh no doubt. Can't have good without the bad. I am now remarried to a beautiful lady 11 years my junior, have custody of my daughter, live on a little farm. Still getting used to the wages and the hours cooking pro, but at least my day job tips back of house. I really cannot complain. Looking...
