Hi Frank:
  
Consider converting a couple of beyond-reasonable-repair wooden levels----
there's a lot of good wood in them--bleach the lightest one and ebonize the
other.---they're dirt cheap around here. I mean at my house. Bring a dime, I'll
get you half a dozen.

         Hope this helps---

How horrible it is to have so many people killed!---And what a blessing one
cares for none of them!

 Subject: [OldTools] Winding sticks
   
Since we are in the throes of Winding Stick building......

I thought I might ask....
I have always seen these as 2 pieces of identical species wood, with sometimes
and inlay of lighter wood ( or ivory) on one of them.....

Has anyone tried to make a set from 2 species of wood with different colors?  As
in Maple and walnut ..... one light , the other dark?.. rather than the inlay
...?
Was it a successful set?
