I have a couple queries out for air dried. Prices I've seen so far mean I'll have another $110-$120 a chest. With spoilage allowance, say 30 feet for 3 of them. One site shows $12/ft, takes just shy of 8 feet per lid. But that doesn't include the 5/4 stock for the breadboard ends, or the ebony bits. I believe I have enough ebony for that left yet. Thanks Gregg. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
