    Ben took this pic in black and white, his flash was acting up and made everything orange so he took this shot, kind of a cool effect.

    Well there was a little delay, Ben will finish the buffing on Monday so hopefully just a few more days now. He sent me a couple quick shots to show the color this morning but I have not had a chance to post them yet, hopefully will be able to do that tomorrow.

    How absolutely astounding that quilting is; where do I sign up? I am fascinated by "quilted" maple!

    I am anxious to see the whole thing. The thing I like about quilt is it looks 3 dimensional.
