Re: Project Vitamin C-10

I am building a 16' dining table for a customer out of muninga(which he brought from africa a little over 30 years ago). there was only enough for the top and none avail in n/a and it is a member of the padauk family so that is what I turned to for the base. normally afr. padauk is a pretty strong red but I was looking for some that was lighter in colour and my siuplier in Ontario had a flitch cut log that was orange whuch in time will almost fade into what I want ron |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I feel ya Bugeye. I've been catching up on threads for the past month. Had a job selling ice cream the past year and half, 80 hour weeks in nebraska all week. Had enough and opened shop back up the first of October. My girlfriend says I'm addicted to this forum! She also wonders why I have those "junk" pickups, I tell her those are my retirement projects.......someday. Great build Alan. Was gonna start on my 68 first but liking yours so might start with my 64 short fleet.

![]() Thats it! Thanks alan! Ive been looking for something to spray the inside of my rockers after I welded them in. I used a weld thru primer from 3M, but was unsure of the outcome. The extension with that spray is ideal!
