My son, ever his supportive and uncritical self, commented dryly: "Dad, you've turned it into a Warwick now. If that makes you happy ..."

I have to admit, the hardware and wood colors work well together.

Dave is not well at all.  :-\  :o

Smart kid, glad that your kids keep things real. Oh by the way we have Dave to thank for my dislike of lung cancer woods & spalted burled curlies.

I was repairing an old keyboard the other evening, and as coincidence would have it I found this interesting bit of etching when I pulled the circuit board:




Its rather odd in that it doesn't support the branding in any way.  Figured it must have something to do with all of this talk of fungi - its now proliferating over the internets!!   :o



At any rate, nice photos.  Kinda digging that Hoyer!

I still don't like diseased woods. No change there, don't worry. I just meant that the colors do complement each other. At least until the fungus spreads and starts eating the hardware.
