Brett,
When I first saw the box of maple, it was full. Should have picked out something then. The next time I looked, the box was almost empty. I did pick out a couple pieces. I stablized them with Cactus Juice and they came out very nice. Turned them, they looked even better. My photo skills are zero, but when they are improved, I will post pictures.
Thanks for bringing the blanks to the MAPG.
