So. Who is this
Dave Lancaster guy, and has he ever demo’d before?

Obviously. He has.

This time, he brought in a lump of (not-quite-green) maple to work with.

That’s a 24” walnut core that he worked on
earlier in the day.

It was then time to
focus our attention on the Show & Tell portion
of the evening.

Thanks, Dave!
