A couple of months ago, my best friend found a wooden tray at, I think, a garage sale… Knowing about all my woodburning that I do, she gave it to me, saying… “maybe do something for me…” So I did. I finally gave it back to her, for her birthday present. Of course, I was…

Forget WW, The Table is DONE!
For a video of my table… here’s a link to my Facebook post… (You don’t have to join Facebook to watch the video… just click on the link!)
Wet Days
For the month of May, my rain gauge is reading 4.11”! We’re not done yet, either. Oh, well… After dishes and some laundry, I used the grey morning to work on my table… Originally, I had planned on woodburning something on the legs… but I’m behind on my gift making and I need to finish…
Table Sides
I’ll take a short break from branding, and share the latest photos from my woodburned and painted table. It’s coming along! I’ve almost completed the sides. I realized I totally forgot a block just yesterday. There will be a light stain on the bare wood. I will paint the legs, give it an acrylic finish,…
Day… Excited
Wyoming is reverting to winter for a bit… winter storm warnings are out, though right here it remains simply a cold rain. Nasty weather makes me stay inside… inside lets me work on… the table! No, it’s not finished, but, holy cow! I love this little thing! I’m working on the sides now… and there…
Day Plus
I work outside… in my house… then I have to sit down and work on the table for a bit! This thing is irresistible! I’m seeing if I like the rather translucent paint versus just a solid coating. So far I’m happy with it, though I will add more shading and depth to the objects…
Day Somethingorother
I have still been working on my woodburned table… but keeping track of how many days I’ve worked on it has gone by the wayside. I decided to add a quote around the edges as well… “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”…
Day Three
Well, of course there are other things I’ve done today… like defrosting my freezer, reorganizing, and repacking it with beef… and standard household chores… but I did get to spend some time on the table! The quote is from Plato… “Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination,…
Day Two
Far from done, but happy with today’s progress!
Day One
Design day one… It’s difficult to see, but I’ve sketched out some simple designs… each section has a book in it… after all, this table will return to the library. And then I start…
Collection
Adding to the collection… A couple of country scenes and the Green Man… A far out fox, some welcoming birds, and a silly llama!
The Newest
One thing about sitting at a table at a trade show all day… I got to finish up and create my newest batch of spoons.
