Let the festivities begin 🍻
Birthday roast for my mother in-law.
The experimentation phase.
Today’s list:
First, a warmup exercise of cutting the end off of each log and sealing it.
Making progress on the bowl.
Sunday roast
Also, sawed through this 8.5” diameter log to get at a section that will be split and then turned into a bowl for my niece (fingers crossed on this one). Very productive shop day today!
Split this log and carved handles for garden tools. Christmas gifts for my wife and grandma.
Coffee scoop finished.
Chipped away at my mother in-law’s coffee scoop today and I’m happy with how it is coming along. Fits nicely in the hand, very comfortable to hold. Will tweak a few things tomorrow but otherwise this is just about finished.
What a week. Glass of wine now to close out the billable portion. All day in the shop tomorrow and Saturday to continue chipping through the Christmas list. Will have photos to share soon!
Tomorrow I shall finish carving a coffee scoop out of this lovely piece of cherry. That and a ½ pound of freshly roasted coffee for my mother in-laws’s birthday.
Do not underestimate yourself.
One thing a challenge will alway reinforce for me is that I don’t do very well with deadlines 😂
Scarf completed for Mozzie 🧶
Tomorrow is another day. I’ll be a pedestrian on the sidewalks of the city for my every once in a while visit to the office.
One benefit to hand tools is a mask is usually never needed.
Lots of time in the shop today. Time lapse here. Massive progress on my dad’s Christmas gift. Should have it finished tomorrow.

A dilemma that I struggle with daily: I’m a dad. He’s 7 years old and I don’t know what I’m doing.
Have never been one to adjust how much I eat on Thanksgiving (or any holiday). Just a little bit of each dish that I like.
Trying out Ray Donovan.
Time to call it a night.
Provision can easily be taken for granted.
