Thanks go to Tdub4ever (Don) for the pattern. I tried very hard with the idea / pattern that Bobscroll made me but I just couldn't get it the way I wanted it, sorry Bob, so I sent a message to Don and asked if he could do a pattern similar to the ones he was making, told him what I wanted and hey presto this is what he came up with. I LOVE IT, Thanks Don. I made it slightly taller than he suggested mainly because I liked the wood. The wood is 1 in wide Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras, lovely wood to work with and as you can see looks great too.
