Vacation

My definition of a vacation is working long hours in the shop making beautiful things out of wood.  My wife’s idea of a vacation is walking on the beach looking for shells.  We are compromising.  We are off to Sanibel Island, Florida which is reputed to have the best shell beach in the world.  When we get back, I’ll make bowls for a few days before I go back to my day job.  My daughter and her beau will house sit and feed and care for the animals while we’re gone.

I finished this monster cutting board this weekend.  It is over 25″ sqaure and 2′ thick.  Here it is still wet with oil sitting on my dining table.  It is a commission and so is already sold.
