Post: RE: Hi Flow Toilets

Not sure what they are made of, but you might want to consider those mats used for jigsaw puzzles, I believe they come in various sizes.

If you do get the carving set, also get those gloves that prevent cuts (maybe it is in the set).

Any trees with long roots possible? Mostly I'm in the "if it's working leave it alone" camp. YMMV  Good luck with whatever decision you choose.

Sweet gum---Liquidambar styraciflua  star shaped leaves with gumballs.  Lots of gumballs, which is why I wanted it gone. Probably the same as your sweet gum.

I've used Walnut sawdust/shavings from the boards mixed with glue to fill cracks/holes.  Since it is from the same board the colors match quite well. Sorry, no help on darkening the light areas.
