Hi Pete,
               I can see the work that has gone into this and I know this type of work is your style but I don't like the torn grain that is there. I appreciate that it was a bit "punky" but I'm afraid it is not for me.(this time)


Sorry Pete I have to agree with John tear out in my mind is unacceptable this is why I have not commented on this piece.( it looks like I am always being picky)
I think if the wood is so punky you cannot avoid tear out it is not good enough to use.

Regards George

No apology needed George. I have had another look at it since Johns comments and personally don't have a problem but I see where you are both coming from and generally would agree though don't have a problem if it is not just a case of laziness or bad workmanship.
