It is kind of interesting that at this point, with all of these finished, and seeing them together, I kind of forget that I made them. I have been too close for too long and did not see the forest for the trees (can’t escape the wood metaphor). They seem like beautiful objects that some how sprang into existence from somewhere else, and I am merely the very lucky recipient. Kind of hard to believe that these came out of my little basement workshop and my hands were responsible.
Time to really clean up the workshop and then go through the wood stash and see what will be next.
