    I was going to make some more nakiris this week but they don't seem to be very hot at the moment so I figured that I'd try something a little different and make some petties up for a change of pace. [​IMG]

    Here's what I've got planned....

    Just looking at these again, and the only little thing I might do differently is flip the hackberry over so the spalting runs in a "Northeast" direction. Wow, I'm arrogant, suggesting you do something different. You're the man!
