Sometimes a project just takes off all by itself! That’s what happened today. First I carved out the bowl using some Quakie wood I got to burn. I had never planned for a base, but It has one. The base is a chunk of Cottonwood out of the firewood pile too. I’m not use to these smaller projects so it has been kinda fun. I’m use to having a project in my head for weeks. This project a day has been a challenge. I’ve liked it. Somehow reminded of an artist sketch. Just for the heck of it I set a small piece of Jasper into the base. Hard to see which is just fine.

I guess Thingy would be as good a name for it as anything. I can’t think of a catagory to put it in.

Looks like it would be a great candy holder.

Nice job!

Its really attractive. Are you going to keep, give it away or sell it? I see it as a place to put jewelry. It looks more for a man but many women like this look like myself.

It looks like a tree trunk to me with the bowl above. I wish I could make something like this, I would have painted the bowl to look like leaves to complete the tree look.

Dennis,

This is quite unique. I find it very interesting to view. Well done and good luck as well.

So this is what’s hiding in the firewood? It takes a special eye to see something like this in a pile of firewood. Unique and full of character.

cool project. I’ve done that a couple of times just have a piece of wood and just made something. I’m sure that it will find a place somewhere though, thanks for the post.

Nice job Dennis; I’ve got a pile of hickory ‘fire wood’ for the BBQ smoker. I might have to go out there and root around….

A great looking Thingie. It would probably fit in with the what-cha-ma-call-it.

Nice job Dennis.

I see the Jasper! Cool bowl/tray thingie. Love it!

Hey Rob, Whaddaya say, we’ll each make one for Nana and Papa this year (each using our own local woods), but not tell em we planned it and act all surprised to see/hear of each others?

Nice job Dennis! Very unique and resourceful. Curious what the size of this project is..

Scott, careful about expressing your ideas in print. Papa tends to peruse these projects once in a while… but now that you brought it up I’m certainly willing to give it a try…
