The finished surface was awesome Dave but to get there you spent a lot of time cutting cross-grain all the way down when 90% of that could have been blocked off from the end maybe with one more saw cut. In the beginning after your initial saw cut, you then used a chisel to cut a wedge then proceeded with the Axe from there to the end. Although the process looked very professional, it left me scratching my head. You know what Dave, there are probably some things I do that would leave you and others with the same feeling so let's leave it at that.
