Title: Longbox for Bill Mantle
Post by: Blackfalcon on August 15, 2010, 10:19:09 AM

Here is a call I just finished for Bill Mantle. Some of you know I have been working on an old farmhouse total renovation. It has been extremely difficult to get any time in the shop, working 12 hour days on this project to meet deadline. Finally got a break due to a delay in getting the drywall completed, unfortunately the last day (Thursday) I fell 8 feet trying to get a major support beam installed. It could have been fatal had the beam fallen also, by the grace of God it didn't, and I only sustained a sprained wrist, and various bumps and bruises to my pride, my back and...! ROTFLMBO. 
Anyways, the show must go on and I was able to get this call finished this weekend, hope it is to your liking Bill!!
You've all seen this combo, one of my favorites, Walnut over Butternut, Thanks for looking, Dave
