A tree from a seed...



A seed does not make a tree... It takes water, soil, nutrients, the
sun, an enabling and supportive environment: Preferably with a sense of
humor and a willingness to share about electric, table saws, routers and
router bits, power tools and hand tools, cabinetmaking and joinery, gas
prices, mobile DP bases, bow saurs, and other essential stuff!

Thank You, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Bill

Right, but without the seed, all you have is muck.

If all you have is muck, you make bricks and enjoy the weeds that will
probably already be flourishing in the muck! Don't pluck them all. Some
of them will turn out to be trees! : )
