Hello, It's been a while since I have posted anything. Here are a few of our latest projects.

Tool holders mounted on French cleats - finally organized.

My son stopped by a tree service on the way home from school, asked if he could have a few pieces of wood. He came home with two car loads of Ash. He thanked the guy in charge giving him a pen he turned - I don't think we'll have to buy any lumber for a while. This is a bowl we made. It is 1" thick - it'll dry then we'll turn it the rest of the way.

Good for your son in getting the wood and giving a pen away too.
I like the grain pattern and the wood looks like Ash is that correct?

As of this time I am now teaching vets again. If you have any lumber scraps we can use them to glue up to make some bowl from a board which we have not done yet.. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

You have him headed in the right direction, free wood is great wood.

Emerald borer?
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.
