Welcome to Lumberjocks. An understanding spouse is most important especially when part of the house is used as a shop.

Hello Douglas;
Glad to see you around here! Sometimes I get busy and don’t have a chance to see every one who comes to LJ, but you were the only one here when I signed in this morning, so I was curious about your love for wood….
I’m also curious about what you mean when you talk about ‘milling up rough lumber….?
—-after following those links you gave, all I can say is WOW, these are in-deed animals of the ‘wood art’!
—-I also thank you for giving me another avenue to explore in woodworking, concerning the use of ‘polymer clay inlays’. I do rustic and as such I am always looking for ways to highlight those cracks of character that are often found in the crutch areas of the slab.
Thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank

Hi Douglas,
I’ve gotten to the point that If it’s less than a couple feet, it’s got to go. In an effort to keep me from crying about that, I donate it to local woodworkers, and pray they use it well.
Sounds silly to say, but wood means a lot to me. I feel I owe it by best efforts, beings it took a while to grow, and it was a living thing.
Keeping anything shorter than that, would get overwhelming rather quickly.
And I too have those “noise memories”. It is rather amazing how a whiff of something triggers memories long forgotten.

Hi Douglas, you should ask Grumpy about the BAR!!! It is one of his projects, perhaps he could send you some photos (this might give him a nudge)! The Wife (Mo)

Hello Douglas, I love the mixed media direction. One area I really want to experiment more with is some of the composites available today as accents and structural pieces as well, it’s an exciting age we live in.
