In the carving phase of a project. Nothing fancy. More dowels.

The best way to start is to start.
Productive shop time today. Cut 42 walnut blanks (to carve into dowels) and selected and cut a portion of cherry to begin carving a spoon or two.
Power went out overnight. Led to 4am wanderings and a strong reminder of the single point of failure we rely on so heavily in our home. Something to work on.
Watching Jason Bourne. A classic movie (for me), and an incredible book!
Tomorrow is the last Friday of the month and I actually have a newsletter to send out. First time since February 🙈
Quick project: wanted a simple solution to organizing the smaller things on my desk. Version 1 turned out pretty good. Wood that otherwise would have gone to the chipper.
Mini-mallet for Mozzie’s 7th birthday.
Had an idea. And I think it will work. Will chip away at it tomorrow.
monday.
Red oak shavings.
To be a dog.
Enjoying the cool morning temps.
A home for the pencils.

Choosing a new notebook to use as my “daily driver” is always enjoyable. I try to match the cover to the season or something that strikes and inspirational nerve. Lately I can’t get enough of the National Park Series.
Went for a walk this evening and stumbled upon a neighbor getting rid of cherry wood (and he’ll have more for me next week!). Will be put to good use.
Monday.
Today is a day of not doing. And I think it is needed. Maybe tomorrow will be the same.
Ok, August is the month I will actually send out a newsletter. Pinky swear.
Eager to head down this rabbit hole.
Beginning to enjoy cloudy days as much as sunny days.
Sometimes I have the thought to just keep driving…
