another long time lurker joins up

[Scott]

Long time ago, before you were around Alf, in the '50s/'60s greenheart was commonly used for fishing rods,

I only knew cos my [very old] uncle had one! :lol: :wink:

thanks very much for the kind comments, and particularly thanks to the forum members who recommended the dure edge bandsaw blades - I don't think the final separation would have gone nearly as well with the blade supplied by record!
