home without hubby for weekend

[Waverly]

That's very cool! My friend’s grandfather does something like that. He has made vase type things an other knick knacks. People bring him weird pieces/types of wood from all over. I am not sure if he does it anymore but his work is very pretty. You should post some pictures!

It's really fun to see what you can make out of a chunk of wood. People give us wood, too. It's always fun to take a nice leisurely ride around town on the bikes after a big storm comes through - we find lots of wood that way! You get a sharp ear for chainsaws, too.

I'll post some pics tonight when I have more time - kids are about ready to emerge from their "naps". Thanks for asking

An uncle taught me workworking as a child. He was a forester with lots of land holdings, too, so he'd get all kinds of woods. It was pretty neat running the equipment as a kid. Those are pleasant memories.

Look forward to seeing pix of the handiwork. Enjoy your weekend with the kids.

My grandfather did that too, but mainly he was a cabinet maker. Which means he made desks, tables, bed frames, cedar chests, everything. I have so many pieces, and so do my sisters and our children and cousins, etc.
