LOL…inspired by spirits to tell a story. That doesn’t happen very often. :)

ok you need to making something for the Philanthropy Event and write out the story that goes along with it—- pass on your creativity (with woodworking tools and with words).

Fun indeed.

Ms Debbie, I was planning on something else for the challenge but maybe. I also thought I may make something with these pieces for our friends/hosts at the beach, have to keep the suppliers happy you know.

Thanks for the comments.

ooh, not a pirate ship, but pieces off a rum runner… that’s got my mind spinning (and with Bermuda like weather currently) It’s like I’m almost there… Don’t think the pine was on the boat though (at least not part of it).... but the others for sure.

LOL…are those cutlas marks I see on those boards?

I’ll be at the beach all day tomorrow. I’ll be keeping my eyes open for some booty.

Hi Rob;
—-rum runners of the Caribbean, originally based out of the West Indies were the curse of the seas as they often pillaged all that was within their eyesight….

These men and women often visited the beaches of southern Texas, especially around the area of Sargent, since they soon found that all is bigger in Texas. Often upon leaving the shores of this bigger then all that meets the eye land, they would run into those much dreaded northwestern winds of ‘rum blowing after hangover size’, that would shipwreck and capsize even the most stout ships, crewed by able bodied seamen and the best breed of pirate captains yet to be found….and then added to this, was the all to often fate of the ships and crews that were many times attacked by giant squid in the area. These squid of gigantic proportions are found to still be ranging the seas of today, hence the tales of the Bermuda Triangle have been told, so as to soften the truth of what really lives out there….

Rob; your story telling is in-deed very good and then there is all-ways the wait and see of anticipation as I await what kind of ‘wood treasure’ will yet come forth in your finds.

Thank you for sharing….
GODSPEED,
Frank

I am thinking a pirate’s chest would be a good idea for the wood. Afterall, you have to hold your booty somewhere. Why not under lock and key in a stout chest.

Hey, at least the theme matches the story.

Hey Bob, how’d your day at the beach go? Don’t tell your wife that it was my idea for you to go out to the beach looking for booty. :)

Thanks Frank for the story embellishment, more substance for my tale.

Bill, I’ll add treasure chest to the list of possibilities.

Hail ye Rob of Sargents cove;

And once when I was a kid, I heard a tale that taught me of mindin’ me own busyness on the docks off the coast of Texas….

”....spoon ye shackles up the mast their matey, ere ye be whizzen off them thur bow lines and we cast ye off for the buzzard sharks to go a harpon on ye inards and gizzards….”

Thats it, I’m out of here and
Thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank
