Dealing with Internet Business:I haven’t had much time to blog this year. Blogging is fine, I like it, but honestly, who has time to read my dribble? I get enough encouragement to continue blogging that I make time for it when I can, but it has been awhile.
Ever since Google started to find my lumberjocks postings in the Spring of this year, I’ve been pretty busy.
Google had always fround my postings, and my website but the ratings were apparently so low on their list that...

Hope everyone has a nice Easter this year. It’s already late afternoon here, after enjoying a nice day at church and at home. I posted a Good Friday project in the projects section here, but due to a flurry of project postings, it didn’t get much time in the LJ “showroom”. I’m planning on it being an annual project, and I invite the rest of you to join me!

Wait a second… Is it really a commissioned work? Maybe not. I agreed to make the cross, but I decided to not charge them for it (ehhh… it isn’t something I really want to put in my Gallery of Finished Pieces, you know? It’s more like a favor than anything. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that I would feel weird about charging a friend for this piece. Hey, when its a hobby, you can afford to do that.)
In any case, I got hit square in the face with one of ...

I am so excited this morning. Why you ask?
I’m complete with the St. Anthony Church Side Altar commission project. I have more work to do on other pieces for the church by the end of the month. So, there isn’t much time to take a breath yet, but the completion of the Side Altars is a huge milestone for me, and my woodworking career.
To be honest, there were some times that I wondered if I would ever get all of the details of these Altars complete. Total working time is a...

I thought that some of you LJs might be interested in seeing a carving project come together from start to finish so this years large carving project I will bolg for you. Keep in mind that this just doesn’t happen over night so this will happen over the next couple of months.
Every now and then I can come up with an idea of my own, The Shroud, but I also will use pictures and modify them to my needs. This year I chose to use a picture for my large carving of the year. Now this might ...
