You betcha Joe. I've always been willing to be spoiled, and I assume 
others are too. I recently used it to trim the shoe peg and dowel plugs 
on a bridge root I recapped. Absolutely terrific!

Another thing about plugging bridge roots with wood (instead of 
thickened epoxy): Dale Erwin had complained that Titebond was gummy when 
he drilled the new holes. The Franklin Assembly 65 that WN&G sells dries 
harder and drills (and saws) very cleanly. Recommended for this use, and 
any other that needs a hard cold glue. It won't replace Titebond for me, 
but it's a first rate addition.
