Falling Off A Log Furniture

Another project almost complete. I need to seal it so guests can write in it without bleeding through, but I think it turned out awesome. Oh the things you can do when it is a rainy Tuesday and your tools are scattered across several projects.😃🤣

I was asked if I could make some coasters blanks for a customer's son to sell at a craft fair. I am using my chop saw at another project today so decided to play with the engraver this morning. I think he can sell these.

I get the last project out of the shop and find this in my front yard. It looks like the mill will be busy for the next little bit. Some of these logs will need to be whittled down before the mill will even cut them. I am glad for the work and the little extra money never hurts. This is going to be fun.

Not bad, not bad. Almost done. Need to get it finished before next week.

Back in the shop at last.

Now that the kids have finished most of their projects, I felt the urge to start my own. I had several small things I pretended to start when a young couple asked if I could work on a walnut mantel for their new house. Live edge 4 inch thick, 12 inch deep, over 5 feet long. For the first time I am going to try epoxy to fill the voids, wish me luck, I don't have another piece like this one if it doesn't work. It already looks pretty amazing. This is still 17 inches across. First challenge, cut it down to 12 without the saw mill.
