Hey Bill, that came out really nice. I know you where afraid there would not be enough contrast in the two woods, But I think it came out great!
How did you finish it ?

That looks exactly like the ones I made for Christmas gifts for my son and SIL a few years ago.
You did a very good job on it. Thanks for showing it to us.
