I appreciate all the well wishes. I will be having surgery on it Thursday afternoon. They are going to be inserting pins into my hand.
Just a mistake on my part, albeit a painful one, it was a mistake. I guess they call it iron wood for a reason! It sure felt like iron when it hit my hand.
On a side note, I've got about 20 pots I'm gonna try to finish this weekend: slate, ceramic, glass and copper. We'll have zebra wood, walnut, tiger maple, quilted maple, plum, blood wood, paduak and ironwood.
Take care guys and I appreciate the well wishes.
