Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do.

They seem committed and are people who care about their customers and realize that's key to the success of their brand here in the US. My apologies to them for the implications I made as to their commitment to their customers and my comments about their use of language in their posting. It was unnecessary.
That said I still feel the same about the chair itself but hope that others will make their own opinions.
