Oh the tides of season
the shorter days bring me into the shop
it's time to think about Xmas
and those impossible to please
I give you my all
please be humbled
and when I am done with you
I will continue
la crochet (removable)
and the bench hook I've forever dreamed
oh, and Happy Holidays!
Hey Carl,
ReplyDeleteIs that some type of exotic on the panel gauge or is it a spalted walnut? I've never seen anything like that: simply gorgeous!
Hey Shawn,
DeleteThat is the bark side off-cut from the breadboard ends of my dining table. Bit of spalting in the sap wood. I resawed this particular piece to make two gauges, the first I smoothed the bark surface away, this one I simply rubbed with plane shavings to burnish the top surface, it's quite beautiful and tactile.
By the way; nice interview!
