My photography sure has suffered since I got a digital camera. Grrrrrrr. I can't lighten it no matter what I do. This was under 3 lights including a fluorescent and a halogen work light. Any help?

Found a jeweler who will sell short lengths of gold chain from necklaces he's shortened for people. This 14 kt. chain was perfect for a homemade winding check.

only hours after putting the final coat of finish on this rod, my wife went into labor. This is a 3pc. 7 wt. Loomis IMX. Wood is brown mallee with walnut and cherry checks. Thanks Dave Henney for the helpful hints on finishing mixed woods.

black ash (or anywhere else, for that matter). I turned this from a beautiful piece with a lot of color variation.
