Two More Muskoka Chairs, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. These are for my mother-in-law, delivered today. Just a quick record shot before I loaded them up to take over to her. They look pretty much exactly like the two I built for us, with one exception: I put a small curve in the arm rest support. Next [...] Last Two Pen and Pencil Sets, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. Click here to view the original size, so you can see the details in the wood grain, especially that maple burl, it’s quite awesome. Forgot these in the recent inventory photos, the last of the hand made pen and pencil sets, for now. Zebrawood and Maple [...] These are all the hand-made pens I have left in stock at the moment — let me know if there’s anything you’d like… Pen Inventory 20-Aug-2010-part1, originally uploaded by rgdaniel.

I MAY still want to consider applying some kind of finish. The two chairs I built last year have weathered to a nice [...] Okay so I’m a little behind on my Flickr uploads… these are a couple of shots from a bit of a photo jaunt I took back in the spring… Keppel Quarry, near Owen Sound, Ontario, is the subject of some local controversy as they seek to expand their enterprise. Valid concerns have been raised, on both [...] Incredibly, there is more sad news today… After having lost our bulldog, presumably to old age, just this morning (see previous post) word comes that our German Shepherd Lucy had to be put down. Lynda, who is in the city for a few days, had tried to see Lucy earlier in the week, but was [...] A couple of months ago we lost Lucy, our German Shepherd. See Goodbye Lucy (May 14, 3010). But she’s still living on the farm and we can visit her from time to time. But this morning we lost our dear sweet bulldog, Tiger. For real. She’d not been well the last couple of days, [...] Kidney-shaped Cutting Boards, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. Hard white maple with purpleheart racing stripes so they go faster. Vrooom… Walnut Footstool – Dry Fit, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. Shown here held together only by gravity, friction, and maybe static electricity, this is a dry fit of my work-in-progress black walnut footstool. The lid will be 3/4-inch Baltic Birch, upholstered. The floor bottom is also Baltic Birch, and has had a coat of stain already so [...] |
