Very nice! What is the wood combo with the Cedar?

Thanks for sharing...

Badwithabow · February 27, 2011, 06:37:00 PM

its actually white oak... sorry i had to scrap the hickory/cedar... due to the learning curve with my new sander.... lol..

Lee Slikkers · February 27, 2011, 07:01:00 PM

Thanks...that's too bad, I seem to have a soft spot for the Cedars.

Badwithabow · February 27, 2011, 07:59:00 PM
