What I Made During the Hurricane

This is a BEAUTY! What type of finish/treatment are you using?

Wow. Almost looks like marble. 14” of rain – I’m surprised you didn’t float away . . .

Lovely box. Well done!

Greg, you obviously find 90 mph winds inspirational. This sculpture certainly looks wind-swept. This one reminds me of scenes from the south pole after a storm. Beautiful work as always. I love the freedom of movement embodied in your sculptures…which just happen to be boxes as well.

As an observation, that must be a heck of a generator to run your home and enough lights and shop tools to do this work. What kind of construction and roofing do you use that lets you be so casual about such winds? And while I am at it…how did you get from your house to the shop in such weather? This kind of storm would leave any of us living in Indiana cowering in the basement.

Very beautiful box. The finish is exquisite. Very glad Isaac did not give you too many fits.

Very nice work

my oh my Greg, this is one of the beauty’s , its one of my favorites for sure, im glad you have power even when its off, that can make for a nice weather day, as long as the roof doesn’t blow off and your in there working away, then that is when the fun begins..fantastic job as always…keep at it…grizz

oh yea, i wanted to know about your generator also, i get the rest, having lived in Alaska we got some pretty heavy duty storms there too, and the mind set was, just do it….as long as the roof stays, then have it, i know you already went through a home being lost, so if it were me, i would have made sure this next one was built on a rock, and the roof would have been done so that it was ready to handle the storms there…when i built this house, i even used hurricane ties on my floor joists…i didn’t want anything going anywhere..everything was screwed down..and where i used nails, they were galvanized ring shank..so , im sure you built it well…grizz

Beautiful work Greg!

It’s one thing to turn a hunk of wood into a thing of beauty but to do it during a Hurricane Wow!
I guess once you get sawdust in your veins there is no stopping a woodworker! When I’m in the shop I loose track of time and seem to have a one track mind. But a hurricane!! My hat’s off to you sir!
About the question that was raised by Boxguy & grizzman, I’d love to hear all about it also.

Thanks for the post!

Beautiful work. It’a amazing that even Isaac can’t slow you down.

A very beautiful box, as always. Really happy you and your family are ok
