WC 0002 - second in a series. As with the the first, it hangs in opposing orientations. I cut the panels so they would protrude out of the frame, giving it a little more life.

WC 0001 - First in a series I’m working on. Hangs in opposing orientations for when I feel like a change.

Someday Project 0002 - as in "I'm gonna do something with this someday" - I’m gonna glue this up to make spoons, etc… yeah, right! Donating it to the local HS wood shop! My studio is 75lbs lighter.

Someday Projects - So like just about every other woodworker I have entirely too many materials, from scraps of wood to magnolia seed pods and pinecones to logs, that "I'm gonna do something with someday". But I really just trip over them, move them from spot to spot, pick them up after they've fallen on the floor for the nth time, or let them sit forgotten in a bags and totes.

No more!

I've decided to select one of these items per month and use it to complete or make significant progress on a project. I'm calling them my "Someday Projects" to mark the accomplishment of conquering the disposophobia!

Someday Project 0001 - as in "I'm gonna do something with this someday" - About a year ago, one of the two large rose bushes in the front yard died. I pulled up the root ball, cleaned it up, put it in a coffee tin, and then I moved the tin around my studio for a year. This past week I added red colored epoxy and threw it on the lathe. Currently drying a rose that I hope to encase in epoxy and turn into a topper.

Finished re-refinishing the top of the kitchen table! The natural color of the Red Oak is so much nicer.

What a great open-house experience! It's wonderful to just get out and talk to other creative people. And I now have at least 3 new ideas to explore and incorporate into my pursuits.

Re-refinishing the kitchen table. When I first refinished it, I had neither the skill nor tools to leave a flat finish. As a result there was a slight, annoying lip where the two halves met. Hand plane does a really nice job of creating a uniform surface.

My son asked me to make a picture frame for his gal, whose favorite color is blue. I don’t often dye/stain wood, but blue dye on Maple seemed apropos. Not evident in the photo is the chatoyance that the dye & poly finish created.
