Rob Grow – Hi Guys,
Woodworkers Source has a YouTube Video on finishing mixed (Sap/Heart) Walnut.  Looks like it is just what John was looking for.
I enjoy the show and appreciate the differing points of views you share.  Keep up the good work.

Rvicic – 5 Stars – Imagine a world in which guitars were actually completed, no one was immature enough to turn inappropriate objects on their lathes, or internet connections weren’t destroyed by the cruel cruel ocean.  It is a sad, sad world.  Now imagine the opposite of that, you’ll have The Dusty Life guys, 2 of which are awesome, the 3rd is meh, but I won’t tell which.  In all actuality, it’s pretty great and worth a listen.

From Chris – What’s up guys, loving the show, it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites.  Ok, so here’s a question: How do you deal with shipping your larger pieces?  Any tips or suggestions when freight shipping furniture?  Or do you try and keep things local?  Thanks in advance, keep up the awesome work.

From Ryan – Since I’m here….(I smashed my finger with a hammer so you’re not getting any shift function for capitalization today, haha.)
Do you guys use things like Snapchat for builds? I ultimately post what I’ve done to Instragram but during builds I will post updates to Twitter and Snapchat as an insight to the process.

Have a good one….

49cfr – 5 Stars: I have thought about this a lot and have listened to every podcast so far and have put together my thought so far.  So this is what is wrong with this young woodworking podcast: Nothing.

Artzgirl56 – 5 Stars:  I’m digging this podcast.  The three of you have good chemistry, and it plays well.  The “flow” gets better each week.
