I learned a lot doing this, as it was my first time doing a staff 6 foot long. I'm already thinking about starting another one and building on what I learned. Happy Birthday! Ron

What a beautiful job you did on that Ron.

Hey KD, first, it took appoximately two months. How did I ship it? Very, very carefully!

Actually, I fretted over that for some time. I was so afraid that it wouldn't make it in one piece. I ended up driving to West Branch where they have a UPS customer center and had them package it for me. It worked, and that made the trip worthwhile.

Hey buddy, what's with the axe?
