Iowa republican caucus voters were polled and 30% said they wouldn’t vote for trump if he is convicted. Of course, the election is months away, so too many of them will surely backslide, but still. It was a higher percentage in New Hampshire, too.

Aha! Thank you!

Is that the same as eastern red cedar? Looking it up, I see a forum discussion about how rare quilting is in this species. I’m going to have to ponder what to make that really does it justice. BTW, I’m certainly open to suggestions.

theforkofdamocles OP ,

I really don’t know, yet. I’ll be looking at lots of pictures to get some inspiration.

theforkofdamocles OP ,

That guy has cracked the case!

theforkofdamocles OP ,

I don’t think birdseye, but I considered quilted maple. I just haven’t seen it this reddish-orange before. Also, this has “fuzzy” textured areas that make me think more of a cedar like another person said.
