Randall- Fantastic! You've outdone yourself. The treasury department is going to want to buy that to keep it off the market! Walter

Randall...
As a woodworker, all I can say is... FANTASTIC!

Wow Randall. Outstanding.

Looks to me like a drug deal in the making, I'm calling Lyman right away. Ran-dahllllll...the Bride insists it can't be all out of one pc. of wood, she says it would be impossible. Set her straight.

Randall, screw the money, the box is amazing. I deal with corrugated cardboard all day every day and you have got it so right that I can't even believe it. I would like to see that in person.

Randy,
You always seem to "one up" yourself with each new work. I thought the WSJ was pretty unbeatable, then came the cutting board, & now the box of dough... I never cease to be amazed by your tallent. I have a hard time just makin' a decent cabinet drawer.
Br,
Patrick

Randall,
As the others have said, the work is impeccable.....as always.
You never cease to amaze us. One day, I too would like to own one of your pieces.
Now, while not to bust a bubble, but to my discerning eye, this work seems to be incomplete.
But it may just be a minor oversight. The bill on top in the upper right corner is missing the serial number

....as to patience...as my wife caren can verify....i am not a patient person...when i was younger my surfer nickname was "bombs away"...well earned i might add. you would be surprised if you watched me work....only the last steps are brain surgery....everything else is quick with a lot of controlled accident....thats the trick.....its way more about confidence than patience
Posted: Mar 15th, '08, 20:57
That's awesome. I have a framed picture of the UV legal pad in the salon of Southern Breeze. It's actually the only picture I ever thought enough of to mount on a boat. This one, while perhaps not as sentimental to the B31/UVI4 crowd, is 100% awesome!
How much?
How much?

The only thing is, when I package my 100's I use two rubber bands.
I, too, marvel at the box sides and the obstacle they posed.

Zowie, this might be better than a restored 100-4.

Well, I'm out...even if I go on a diet. Randall, would you do me a few individual notes? I'll increase the order as we go....
My geat-grandfather was a fine-art printer, a lot of hand-engraved plates, he got raided by the police in the 1930s...so, better not. Talent died with him unfortunately....mind boggling work Randall.
I sanded a nice finish on the teak rubbing strip on Tennessee on Sunday.
