I'm back :) - new La Bella project starting soon!!! WooHoo...

[Matthews]

Well, after a long side step to pursue my 1st Love, building Hot Rods, I am back boys and girls.  Just picked up a pair of mismatched Scala beaters to turn into another pair of Plum Mahogany "La Bella's".  Look forward to being back and posting my project progress.

I thought about you all often and dreamt of stepping back into Scala restoration.

Hi

The fella I got the mismatch from is named Matthew as well.  StL resident.  Very nice man!

Welcome back Matthews. Your projects were missed. We need pictures of what you do with these latest pair. I think Schu was asking the dog's name.

With all the SetUp for complicated Cuts I would make extras

oh, believe i misunderstood your question, Schu  
The furry one posing for the photo is my baby girl Zelda.  She just turned 11 years old.  She can still leap high in the air to catch a frisbee.

Busy couple days.  Both LS cabinets almost ready for the next step.  Final sanding and cleaning up.  Then on to "Plum Mahogany Revisited" 🔥
