Soaking in some of those negative ions from the deck. In a world gone crazy, remember to appreciate the good.

For about a week, this group of eleven would come soak in the morning sun before circling off into the skys. Careful about napping by the river!

Installed the posts and top railing at the #Riverhouse this weekend. Cable threading, tightening, and casting some flys next weekend! Alteady doesn't feel so sketchy standing out there. #safetyfirst

My DIY Router Sled recycled from an obsolete retail display fixture. It's a little stickier than I'd like, but free materials and it gets the job done.

Well, two years stickered in the shop, it's time to bring these honks-o-cedar into the world again. These 3x14x10' of #salvagelog goodness will keep me busy in the #woodshop and take my mind away to a happy place!
They shall become my new big fat #farmhouse table. then again, ADHD is real...

OK, I'll play. Here's my evening sky. And, my owl friend atop that distant fir tree.

Relaxing in the hot tub on the beautiful evening and was greeted by Mr Owl. He's on top of the distant fir framed by the two fir trunks in the foreground. Nice ending to a crazy day. I'm grateful that #nature can heal my sole.

Wow! I've been using darker stains on my last many projects, so it was a treat bringing this fire salvaged cedar to life with Rubio Pure. I'm SUPER loving it! I made #Woodart !!

Compound angle legs are tricky. Not perfect but not so bad I need to start over. If you end up on the floor looking up at the bottom of the table, you're probably not so worried those joints aren't spot on. Edge rounding, final sanding and some #RubioPure to finish up.

Update, I found the base size that felt right. 12x12. Now I'll replace the temporary plywood with a hunk of cedar. I'm afraid without a base, it might not be as strong as I'd like, but maybe with beefy tenons to the table, it will be fine?

I've written my Senators and House Rep, so that my voice is officially recorded. Now I retreat to my #woodshop to figure out the best scale and angles for these funky table legs I'm trying out for fun.

Lots of boring drawer boxes and shelf staining in my #woodshop lately, so I gave myself an "art break". Rough sanded end table top with some cedar block and fir scraps I knew could be something other than firewood. Time to play around with legs now.
