Thanks guys..

BA- The Cypress was a freebie... I know a guy who owns a milling company and he uses a lot of cypress. He burns his scraps of 5 quarter but I snag a few armloads now and then. It is not terribly expensive though. It turns nicely but doesn't sand as well as I'd like. The grain seems to be a little tougher, there is also a lot of variation from one piece to the next. The grain can be wide, light and soft or tight, hard and heavy. I try to stick with the hard, heavy stuff.

As for the prototype.. I'll keep you posted still in the swimming stage.
