Ok Dario,

After much searching, reviewing of pictures (as I have never seen many of these woods close up), trying to imagine the wood lighter (as you darkened them with BLO), and head scratching, I have come to the conclusion that you a cruel and heartless man. :) I mean really every one else gets the number of blanks that the have correct. Me on the other hand, oh no, I get "more than half". Well since half is 7.5 that means that I have some where between 8 and 14 correct. (sheesh)
Boy I am glad to get that off my chest. :)

Eric,

LOL..I hope you learn later that I am not that cruel. :biggrin:

The BLO darkening is an accident. I originally planned on sanding all the blanks to display the wood better but the dust is too much! (can't run my DC simultaneously w/ the sander--a garage electrical issue). I aborted that and decided to apply BLO instead...after applying it though, it is too late. You see the intention is good...but it back fired. :redface:

I masked your tally since it will give up too much info to those who decide to just jump in the very last day. I really want to give those who keep trying some kind of edge. I hope you understand.

Correction you are somewhere 8-15 :wink: which is very impressive for first try.
