I know, everybody who is somebody has turned one of Ken Nelson's expertly crafted kits. Well, I finally got my chance and was certainly not disappointed. The kit seems a bit overwhelming at first glance, but following the well written instructions was a breeze. I attacked it with my trusty skew gouge and was a bit nervous. I could just envision myself blowing up a $50 blank with one wrong move . And then, what do I tell the wife [:X]? It would be the last time she trust me with a credit card. I guess all those hours of practicing with the skew definitely paid off. I followed up with a bit of light sanding and a BLO/CA finish. A Statesman has never looked so well dressed (IMHO).
