Amazing

As I unloaded wood from the truck today I thought how strange it is that these things that grow in the ground, give us shade, drop acorns in my truck and leaves on the lawn can be turned into furniture. My wood order was delivered from Charlotte. The wood is beautiful. Pics can be found an the baby ellis blog. Here is a picture of the "shop" and the maple that will become my woodworking bench. Only 186 working nights left!



PS: a 20 bdft hunk of 12/4 maple is very heavy and impossible to rip by yourself.

So proud of you for making things out of wood. I am sure the furniture will be beautiful when you are finished. Miss you guys!
