Ross,

Gorgeous work! Hope I can progress to that level of craftsmanship some day.

Two questions:

1) Would you recommend a WLII for a first-time strip-built project? (If it's taken you 170 hrs. so far, god knows how long it would take me)! I'm not much more than a beginner woodworker.

2) What did you use for fillet material? (The fillets in my S&G were made with maple flour and they are very dark and ugly as sin! Fortunately the deck, etc. will hide them).

Thanks, John
