Last night on Jeopardy there was a contestant who Alex introduced as a
"woodworker who makes unusual lamps" He makes the shades from maple
veneers. Alex must also have an appreciation for wood as he asked the
guy about what wood gives the best grain and what brings out the
pattern.
Too bad the guy finished second in Final Jeopardy.

In my best Sean Connery voice:

Thanks for the link Art. I'm still very new to turning but I know if i
tried doing that now I'd end up with a bunch of pine shrapnel each time
I attempt to make one of these.

I've been on the show ... yes you provide the basic question for Alex

harmonize with String Theory?" ;-)

during the show. ;~)
