Took the paduk sawdust from the tea tray and tried to steam distill it. That didn't work. So I turned it into incense. Because I'm a nerd, that's why.

I made a new tea-tray out of padauk. I was going to make it from cherry, but www.mckinneyhardwoodlumber.com had a lovely padauk off-cut... for more than I was going to spend on cherry, but not by much. It matches one of my sets. Padauk smells amazing when working it. Video coming eventually.

G. asked if I knew how to solder... A few hours later I realized it was one of those, "do you even know me?!" questions.
