Un-Covering an Old Friend
....and so it was in the now of ever, that I heard your sigh of wishing endeavor, till i knew the time had come for moments un-veiling,as i stood before your monolithic scaling….
—-to your sleeping time of years gone by, there is this awakening of joy-full cry, and i am also jumping within the soul of your tree,since won’t be long till we are art-fully free…
I love to tell stories, and story telling of old trees is what I am purposed ...

”The Beauty of Wood Art”
....and so this morning i am just pounding out some thought think as this substance called ether is slowed down and takes on a body form called words….
—-gathering words, is like the woodsman who knows that in the pith of the forest flower, there is a sponge of gathering goodness, that yearns to be harvested, from the overflow of heart-felt expressions of eye seeing i….
—-sowing in the morning, sowing in the evening and all...

So far my schedule has really only allowed me to get started on a bookshelf and a coathook for my front hall.The bookshelf hit a snag when I realized the plywood I cut for a few pieces was slightly warped. Took the wind out of my sail. So I plopped the boards on the floor and applied weight….I don’t think it straightened them much. But I think I can attempt assembly soon.
The coat rack was a quick project to get me back into the flow. I made a big one and a small one for my son...

I think I’ve decided on a lamp for my 1st anniversary gift. I wanted something sort of in the area of arts & crafts, FLW, and japanese designs. The shade would be rice paper – 1st anniversary tradition after all.
I really like Randy Price’s design in walnut here: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/12365
but wanted something like that crossed with a japanese lantern… sort of. I havent decided completely.
I drew up this quick and dirty sketchup model to help me...

The Language of Wood
....and so i step out of my walled in universe, to view the collective aspirations of the many other’s, who after working throughout the long hours of night, are also standing ready to greet the powers of coming dawn….
—-what is this sound within the confines of my head, that causes me to gather at the sound of a mornings landscape, to view the coming revelations of many hand tooled creations, along this forest of well endowed tree formations…...

I found this book by accident, and I would urge you to do the same. If you are a joinery junkie like me, this is a must have. I love the hand drawn illustrations in the book. You will learn about alot of techniques that will never show up in your average woodworking magazine article. Very much oriented toward handtool users.I have the hard cover from 1972, published by Drake, ISBN 87749-042-2. Great examples of jigs for improved hand work.
Also, where else can you find pictures of peo...

Evergreens of Ages Now
....and as i stood gazing into the heavens, i was re-minded of some whisperings that had once passed before, “is not the right to critique with gawker’s of leavens, what keeps one from entering through the door”....
—-while in the midst of hearing cloudy swirls, goes my thought-full yesterday’s of waundering walkabouts, and to my wondering eye in need of joy-full sounding purls, comes the awakened dreams within of knowing my inner-clo...
