Dear David,

In response to your three questions...

1) Sugar Pine or Boxwood is traditional I believe; 'though I'm not real
sure of the latter.

2) (?) Be resourceful.

3) I made a key years ago following the steps outlined in a handout from a
PTG seminar.  It came out quite well and wasn't too dificult.

I believe I could still dig up the information and Fax or Snail-Mail it to
you if you'd like.  Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner yet so it isn't
in a digitized (E-Mailable) format.
