Yes, that was unpleasant. I managed to salvage it enough so that my daughter is happy to have it. Since this post, I have worked with a piece of genuine mahogany to make a Paul Sellers clock (gave to a local charity to auction). Nice wood to work with. A little softer than cherry but strong enough so that I do plan to make a keepsake box from it.
