Nah, not sold yet.
This one's a little soft in the middle so I'm not going to go crazy with it. I have about 6 hours into this one, and I'd like to keep it under 10.
Hoping to finish, burn and stain it by sundown.
Shaped the face up a bit this morning with the dremel sander.

salvaged what was left over....
...and learned a hard lesson about working on logs that are soft in the middle.
live and learn!

drew out a lono last night.
Seems like a nice dense piece of wood, so hopefully it turns out well.
