Before and After

Well after the 70's called and wanted their carpet back we gladley gave it back. We painted, and laid a wood flooring. The only thing left to do is hang pictures. One room down so many more to go.

A Weekend away

Wednesday Sylvia and I took a trip to P-Town Cape Cod. We spent the night at a camp ground behind the Cape Cod light house. Then Thursday we went to Salem, Ma and walked around town then headed to Maine. We went to LL Bean store. and drove to Rockland, Camden. I would post pictures but when we took the sd card out of the camera and put it in the card reader it erased all the pictures on it :( We camped 3 night and put 1000 miles in our tour. Next Sunday will be our last Sunday Its hard to bleave that the time is here.

Window Mirrors

Here is something that I've been playing around fro a while. The first one is something that I am trying to market. Shadow boxes. I call it a window to your past. When a door closes a window of opportunity opens. Sofar I haven't sold any but a lot of people like my ideal. The 2nd and last came from a estate sale. they were doors to a china hutch. They are made of walnut I beleave. All the frames are from 50 to 100 years old.

My latest project

A couple of months ago we went to an estate sale where I picked up some rough cut cedar boards. I didn't know what I was goint to make out of them. They sat on the shop floor till I was inspired. Well I made this bench. The top is the cedar. I planed the top but left the sides the their natural state. You can see the worm holes where the worms craled between the bark and wood. The legs are made from red oak which was given to me a couple of years ago. The wedges in the leg tops holding the seat on are made from walnut which my son gave me for Christmas. I've been spending a lot of time in the shop latley. Its a good place to be on cold winter days.
