No rest for the weary, not even Christmas Eve and Christmas day. After opening presents we went to the shop and spent the day on this project. We got this order way back in the summer and were told they would be back at Christmas to pick it up. We procrastinated all summer and finally got around to it last week. It is made from sassafras and smells wonderful. Each piece is a solid 2” thick board, legs are 3 inches thick. It is It is 54 inches wide and is not light. You should have seen the log he sawed it from! I think it was about 3 ft. across at the stump. They wanted it so it can be hauled back home broke down and they will put it back together when they get it home. I am not sure what the “Blood Babies” means but I know they were triplets and I think 2 died at birth. We didn’t think that black paint in the letters would look right here so we decided to burn them and the angels with a woodburning pen. That took much longer and was harder but I am still convinced it looks better that way. I used a v-groove bit for the letters and a flat bottom 1/4 inch but for the angels. It is all done with the hand router, just following the pencil lines from my pattern.

Magnificent – I will definitely include an item like this in my garden when I finally retire.
Bought a 2.5 acre property and I already have some 2 and 3 inch slabs of Port Orford Cedar sticked and air drying. Retirement for me is at least 14 years away. It’s stuff like this one that keeps me motivated to get to retirement.
Again, that is a magnificent piece – Very well done.

I’m with you. I’m one of the worlds greatest procrastinators. Nothing like having a deadline. Great work.

I think all your projects are great. I have a lot of fun making this kind of furniture. This is a special one.
