Maple Curl


Well I have finally been able to get back into the woodworking shop over the last few weekends to continue my workbench project.  How sad is that?  I am excited about building a workbench!  I took a picture using my macro lens of this small shaving from one of my planers.  I love working with wood it's such a rewarding medium.
I started a year ago December in selecting some rough sawn lumber (Douglas Fir, Maple and Walnut) and was hoping and confident I would have it done by August.  As always you have to double or triple your estimated time for completion, especially with a little one around.  It's far to easy to get distracted by her playful shenanigans!  We end up spending a lot of family time together my wife daughter and I... it's hard to pull away at times.

I hope I will have it done over the holiday season this year but no promises...  then it will be on to some finer projects for the family and friends!
