My thought goes with you as well Dennis. I have had a bad back off and on most of my adult life. This last year it kept me awake at night.
I think I tried everything over the counter and even had thoughts of going in for a catscan or the like.
All of a sudden last month it has almost come back to normal and only after prolonged standing or lifting does it bother me.
I wish the same for you or better.
That marquetry is way beyond my abilites . I wish we were neighbours so I could watch you work.

Hey buddy – I wrote you a couple of times, and I’m glad to hear your back on the wood work. Great looking pieces, and you have a lot of people pulling and praying for you. Understand all to well the pain your in on your back, I like to thank that 16 year old who rear ended me back in 84 everyday. My best to you.

I wanted to thank everyone. You have really help lift my spirits. Fellow lumberjocks have helped inspire me in my woodworking & in friendship. And I think I will hang up the basketball shoes.

Good time for some designs. Beautiful pieces here. A classic type feel, yet new and fresh. Great subjects.
Good luck on the healing.

Hey Dennis, hope you are feeling better.
This is some great marquetry work. I especially
like the girl with the red hair band.
Get well soon.

Your work is some of the best on our forum. Hope you heal up quickly and you can get back in your shop. Take care Billp

Dennis, I really like your work! Thanks for posting.

About the back thing: try visualizing light flowing through your back and all your nerves. Command your body to correct itself. This ought to help, once the physical self knows that you know you can use your own authority to heal. Years ago Dad got rid of his cancer this way.

-- Rich, Seattle, WA

You found a nice way to occupy your time with the parts that are still working. All the best getting well again!

Great work Dennis, I really like the one on the top row to the right. Hope you have a quick recovery!

Hey Dennis. I love the 5th one (bottom left). That’s bloodwood right? I love red popping out in just about anything.
How do you feel?

Hi Rick,
Yea, you are right. That is the woods that I will be using my next box. And it is bloodwood. You have a good eye for woodworking.
