<html> <body> Ed, Something on this order used to be a part of a class that Richard Davenport was teaching a few years back.  Perhaps he is still teaching it from time to time.

I will also look at the nap of the buckskin. I have already sanded the bottom edge of the tail to remove the sharp edge. <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite> <dd>Are you making a laminated checklist of all these suggestions?   You could teach a <dd>class next year.   Or sell the list.  ;-)</blockquote> <dd>I am saving all the suggestions for future references. I don't know if I will have enough material to teach a full class, but maybe a mini class. As with all educational material, the information will be free for the asking. :) <dd>Wim <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite> <dd>Ed Sutton</blockquote> </dl></blockquote></body> </html>
