Thats the best knot I’ve ever seen. Also a very nice project. You got my vote.

What a great story, and a beautiful project!

I may have to ask for some sort of Guiness Book proof as to the authenticity of that knot…. Seems mighty coincidental to me. Hmmm….. :-)

You have definitely started off this contest with the bar set very high. The pressure is on!

What a wonderful gift and I love the story behind it. I have often said that the story behind a piece is often as important as the project itself.

This is gorgeous and I will have to second Charlie’s comment. This looks like a winner to me.

Knot bad, knot bad at all. I love it.

The wife unit has seen this and wants a French pin like that real bad. I need to get to the wood store.

Lew. A great use of air. It’s surprising how the air is keeping those sides into the perfect shape. Good catch many years ago and great use for it after you found it again.
