I knew you couldn’t resist this blank canvass. Lovely!

There are many documented instances where Charles Greene would add carvings to his work.

Dick – the carving is beautiful and fits extremely well with the Thorsen Table. This looks like a winner to me.

Very Nice Dick. I don’t see any Tenons on the end of your board. Have you just blocked out all of the rest of the picture. Or are you still milling pieces?

Very observant Karson, I blocked them out, for a prettier picture.

Whew! I can’t hold a candle to this kind of work, Dick. Beautiful, just beautiful. Blocked! Still keeping a few cards close, eh! LOL.

Thanks Os, but my table isn’t done yet. Getting close to end date.

WOW! Nice rose carving Dick but I had an idea there was a carving going in that space when I saw how you opened it up with the downward cloud. Carving minds work alike to an extent. LOL!

Thank you Rog,
I couldn’t resist carving on that beautiful Black Walnut, my favorite carving wood.

You’re up bright, & early this morning. You must be chipping, & chirping away with the birds. LOL

Up at 4:45 even if I don’t set the alarm clock. I plan on finishing my table this weekend, I hope.

I’d like to have mine done also, may the best man win.

Debbie, I have to put my gloves back on today, & rake my yard. LOL

looking good. feels like so many of us will be coming down to the wire. I almost expect to be taking pictures while the glues still wet – or worse, using scotch tape to hold it together long enough to snap a few pics.

I’ve been moving at a snails pace, but it’ll be done on time.
I’ve been doing a little yard work in between. After the snow there’s always something to do.
