I was never a big fan of mahogany until I stripped the old finish off my Gurian. Boy, that mahogany actually looks really good. I love the orangish/amber color that comes out now that the old finish is off. The old finish really made it look dull.



Cheers!

A Colin Convert. I like the stuff too. It's not flashy but it sounds like heaven to the ears.....

I'll get you all in the end.

Not yet Don, the dead hand of buraucracy of not one but two Government agencies cannot be hurried. I'm still waiting on a visit from the Inspectors of the Health and Safety Executive, and the next meetings of the Executive board of the Science Faculty, and the University Senate (Don't forget for all of them the easiest decision is to burn it all!). I've long leaned that patience is the main pre-requisite required when dealing with Government agencies and Academic Boards, both love nothing better than postponing decisions to subsequent meetings! I'll keep you all informed.

Bruce, you know what I meant!

Hey, I see you've moved house again. You know Malawi, like America, was also one of our colonies. By the way, the humidity there will play havoc with your wood, but the supply of sapele should be good.
