Remember this from our last meeting?
That's where this Thing came from.
Remember the photos of the sunset and the talk of the thunderstorms, too?
After the storms, we had a couple days of wind - the Santa Anas, which blow from the Northeast, off the desert. On the second day of the "wind event" (that's what they call it), Tuesday, the wind shifted around and blew all the dust out that came in on Monday.
This is about as clear as the sky gets around here, and the reason Autumn is my favorite time of year.
And, in my wanderings, I came upon this. It reminded me of the lady who turned a cauliflower.
Or any number of those live-edge hollow forms made by turners who really know what they're doing.
Now, where was I?
The little Jacaranda log, rounded up and tenonated.
And I'll say this about that. "That" being the use of CA as a topcoat. It's like putting on about 900 coats of Shellac in less than thirty seconds.
And to think, all this time, I've been steadfastly refusing to spend that ridiculous $9-a-bottle for the CA they sell at Rockler. Why? Here's why:
The Gorilla and Loctite Superglue at HD is the same stuff.
Evidently, it's not, Smartypants. Now will you leave me be once in a while?
While we're wandering around together, let us observe one more tableau of arboreal handomeness. These trees I discovered in Beverly Hills last night. They line part of a street just up from Rodeo Drive, almost to Sunset. Theyre in front of a $40 million palace hidden behind the hedges. (Zillow is an amazing thing. It lets one see beyond the hedges.) I don't know what species they are. Olive, mebbees?
Thank you. And, I apologize.
