Sorry to hear that Tony, maybe the sharpening display at our meeting was sufficient for the majority. The $30 fee may have been too much for the basic skills that can easily be found on the internet but not easily learned.
I think that you are correct, Dave. There are great sharpening videos on the Internet – for free. And…you can watch them in your pyjamas, with a coffee in hand!
What a VERY good read ..and so well written also !
The creativity of sinking Arbutus is brilliant ! The photos also look amazing
There used to be the Council Of Forest Industries out of the lower mainland (COFI ). They as scientists used to test different woods and soil conditions of the specie back in the day…I wonder if they are still around ??
Beautiful work, Bernie. I will be knocking on your door for some lessons!

Yes, I do know the difference between a hand plane and a lathe.
Excellent job, Bernie! And thanks for telling me about the Guild; looks like it will be a great group to be a part of.

Thanks Tony
A beautifully well written true adventure worth sharing. Who would have thought of storing arbutus in water? Amazing. Take care
Pierre
Great story, thanks for sharing it. Hopefully an Arbutus electric guitar project is in my future 🙂
