Sorry to hear about the thumb, Steve.
I took the end of a finger off last year on my planer. Luckily the consultant at our local hospital is a finger expert - his waiting room every week was full of woodworkers!
No stitches or grafts, just a weekly dressing with a plastic material to keep all the gunge in and the wound moist. Two months later the skin had grown right back over the amputated bone - complete with fingerprints!
The smell, though!!! It was the most effective form of contraception I've ever come across!
Nice work, by the way.
Hope you're back in action soon. It's my livelihood - so I had all of 12 hours off!
Cheers
Brad
