Allison, another great piece. The palm trees are just amazing!

when I decided back in September to see what my thumb looked like on the inside (I don’t recommend it) it took me a while to even consider getting back in the shop. I couldn’t work as a chef and I couldn’t work in my shop, I didn’t know what to do, but I thought about all the projects I wanted to do, and that kept me hoping that one day I wouldn’t be afraid to face my fear(s). Glad to see you back at work on the bandsaw.

So glad to hear your back in the saddle again, a good looking piece here, and I bet your enjoying making things again. Keep up the great work.

cute little intarsia or scene or whatever you want to call it Allison, I just wish I was there. It looks like a nice warm place, it’s -1 below here this morning. Hope it’s warmer where you’re at.

I haven’t been here for awhile, but I picked the right time to check in. I’m so happy you got over your “band saw” thing and got back to work. And what beautiful “art / work” it is !

Hi Allison,
We didn’t know about your mishap. Sounds awful, Allison, so you do have more than a “hair of sympathy” from this team.

As always your work is inspirational and innovative. We love the heartfelt connection with your Dad’s Pomegranate and Apricot trees, which makes this work of art very special.

Just an FYI, one of our team members had a go-in with an Xacto Knife a while back while preparing a brochure mock-up, and ended up without most of a fingertip, so we know what it can take to pick up the tools of the trade again. We congratulate you, and know that your efforts will continue to produce amazing work.

We raise a glass to you, Allison.

Cheers!
Team Wicanders

this is FANTASTIC!

and you have EVERY right to be flipped out with that experience. Scary stuff.
