Like its cousin Eastern White Pine it requires sharp tools. I started with my adze made by Tim Manney. Tools Left to Right: Adze, Travisher, Scorp/Inshave. Bamboo Style Arm Post. Next I brought the...

It is the day after the Shop Stool Build Off (SSBO) and what a great time it was. So many people working across the world on a single project, a new shop stool.
