Pfft, ha! Yes, and I'm here to troll you with my mad carving skills. That's funny.
If you must know. I lost my home in the dixie fire last July. After a dark few months, some serious self reflection, and a lot of hard work, physical and emotional, I was finally feeling good enough to post again. Reading through the politics section was a quick disappoint, realizing I hadn't missed that much. James is still writing the daily drivel about how shitty his life is, or what latest ailment is going to kill him, for sure this time. He even has a thread called the happy thread. Who the fuck goes to politics to think happy thoughts. It's an outrage I tell ya. Honestly, I dont think anyone even noticed I had departed for 8 months.
Oh well, I really wanted to thank someone here who had helped me out, which I did. I dont think I am who you think I am.

Got my wife some succulents at the farmer's market this morning. Never tried growing them, but they are cuter than shit.

Gorgeous collection! I wish you the best, Justin my friend.
I'm very sorry you lost your home in the Dixie fire. That's not easy. I honestly hope things are going better for you.

You need to pick up a San Pedro cactus, they have mescaline in them, lol. Depends on the cactus though, some have been bred to reduce the content.

I’m sorry I didn’t mean give the impression it is an epoxy coated project, instead it’s a grain matched leg’s and top.
@DarkWeb here’s your pic.
Here’s the components, it’s actually glued and assembled now but I didn’t take a pic after assembly because I was covered in dust and hot , sweaty. I’ll get more pics after final sanding. I’m not putting the finish on this this one, I’m going to let the homeowner do it, she’s going to be putting finish on some cherry end tables I repaired last week so she can do these too. It will give her a sense of personal connection to the pieces and that will value far beyond the amount she’ll be stroking on my check…… that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Impressed, envious and highly motivated with all your woodworking. Working with wood is art imo. Looking forward to the finished piece.
Are epoxy and poly compatible? I've got a nice sized pine slab with some pockets that need filling. I'd rather not epoxy the whole length, it would be way too pricey.

Nice piece, what kind of wood is that?
Tuned up this Stanley bedrock today, which didnt take much. It was a gift from my father that I've been meaning to sharpen for a while now.

Whacked out another pocket spoon today too, ninety percent done anyway. Pretty sure its cherry laurel.

Your spoon looks good with the drawing I am workin on. Got more done today. The circular pattern in that wood is quite beautiful.

Very nice, amber! Good eye, the grain pattern depends on how the tree is carved. Imagine cutting away at the bark of a tree, revealing another growth ring with every cut. That is what you're seeing. Dig this one, live edge cherry bowl.
