Cold Iron, Lots of timber being cut around here! Prices are still good for cherry and maple. Ya, I remember the big tannery fire, had to vacate the house for a while for fear of being torched. Gotta do something about the bottoming problem on the X. For those who are trying different things, don't forget to test the "fix" and report back here ASAP. Thanks guys for all the info, been very helpful!
