    Tried something new today. Comfort Birds. I started with a compound cut bird then used some different sanders to do the rounding and shaping. They feel great in your hand. I enjoyed carrying mine today while walking and reading. Kind of like a soothing fidget toy.

    Beautiful work, Barb! My wife loves succulents. I tried two of them and killed them both. This may be the route I should go.

    I love that. Nicely done!

    Just incredibly beautiful, Dave.

    Thank you. It’s a piece of oak from an old pallet. I’ve bought hundreds of dollars worth of wood. The prettiest ones with the most character are usually free.

    I’ve enjoyed making some simple things lately. My sister in law wanted a Celtic Cross. I found an outline I liked online to use as a pattern. I stack cut two 3/8” oak crosses, then removed the circle from the top one, routed it then glued them together

    I used a #3FDUR (Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse)

    I listened to both of those when I was cutting it.

    Love it! Here’s the scene above my reading chair.

    The cat’s meow!

    Thanks. Actually I like cutting oak because it’s slower, so mistakes don’t happen so quickly.

    Wow! I love the subject and the cutting. Excellent work! What size is it? I love all things LOTR but not sure I have the patience for that.

    Looks great! Perfect piece of wood.
  14. Charlie E
    Very nice!

    Simple piece that brings back memories of country church singing from my childhood.

    Holy cow, Dave! Looks like perfection to me. Fantastic cutting!

    Yep. It’s a shame how much stuff gets thrown away that someone else would love to have.

    If anyone else shops at Sam’s Club, I was there today and got these 3’ X 4’ish sheets of heavy paper for free. We shop there a couple of times a month so I don’t plan on having to buy anymore shop paper. It’s in the big pallets of paper towels and toilet paper. Doesn’t take much to make me happy.

    Outstanding piece of art on the perfect background. Beautiful!

    Very nice!

    $4 antique store find. Hand carved ebony wooden elephant that had just one long tusk. Now he’s got two short ones. The tusks and eyes are made from the same material, don’t know if it’s ivory or some kind of plastic/resin. I’m calling him Ebony.

    This one is for my shop. I have one hidden for my house that my daughter knows about and she is bad not to put it back. So I have a spare hidden that I won’t tell her about.

    Don’t want anyone to find your hidden key. Hide it behind a decoy. Don’t spread it around.

    It’s funny because it’s mostly a southern thing here in the USA. Northern folks often don’t know what they are either. Lots of people don’t care for them, mostly because they’ve never had them prepared well. It’s actually dried corn with the hull removed and then ground to small pebble like “grits.” You boil them like oatmeal. My granddaughter is a big fan of mine.

    Being from Alabama I love grits. Mom fixed them every morning. Mine are much better. I make bacon cheddar cheese grits. I use quick-5 minute grits. (Not instant!!!) I use (per serving) about 1/3 to 1/2 cup sharp cheddar, about a tbls cream cheese (optional but good), and 3-4 strips fried and crumbled bacon. I season them with Tony’s Cajun seasoning and salt. You may not live quite as long but you’ll enjoy the time you have more.
