however we don't need these right now, so let's put them aside, eh?
I had a chance to work on the project for 2 hours today, and during that time I decided it would be interesting to find out how fast I am going. I measured out 2 inches...
and dug in. It took me 5 minutes for a rough-cut, 2 minutes for the sanding. This is a really, really hard wood. In fact, I was probably going faster than I usually wood have. let's take this to mean .284 inches/min, or 0.00324659091 miles/hour. no wonder it's taking me forever.
Oh and I got a very good shot of the grain today.
pick for comparison.
