had this piece of wood with me for nearly 22 years … still hasn’t found the right project
Got this piece of white ash when we lived in Denver.
Bought it out of a short box at Paxtons Beautiful Hardwoods near Arvada. Was making a rocking girraffe for my son Nathan who hadn’t even learned to walk yet. Still got it. It is in the attic.
Perfect condition, except for the “red cedar” I used for the ears broke off. ... and the 2 inch round white wood googley eyes are lost too.
Eight inches x 8 inches by 6/4.
Sanded to 80 grit
linseed oil

When the notifier showed up I wondered if I had become buddies with some Slavic fellow while sleepwalking.
Thanks for keeping things fun!
BTW nice bit of lumber. I’ve been taking a walk through the lumber stash recently trying to use some offcuts for the Xmas push. I’ve got some like this but not quite as figured. Damn, I love wood.

Nice piece of wood Dan and nobody can say that you are not a patient man. Send it to me and I’ll figure out what to do with it :-))
