If you didn't go to the advanced polls, make sure you vote on Monday. All elections are important, but this one is even more so. I went yesterday but forgot to take an obligatory picture. Instead, please enjoy pictures of cutting boards soaking up some mineral oil.

It was a busy week last week. I turned a pile of rough sawn lumber into a pile of nice smooth lumber, into a pile of lumber stuck together. More cutting boards and coasters coming soon!

One more run of new, small cutting boards for Etsy, and I start working on some coffee and end tables next.

New coaster designs are in the Etsy shop. How do you like them?

A bit of radio silence from me last week as my folks were visiting. It was their first time in Nova Scotia. I think they liked it.

Obligatory breakfast cuddle.

It's gonna be big! Lots of room for trimming down, though, as I glued some less than perfect pieces to the outside to pad it out and leave extra room for trimming.

Nothing like starting the day in the shop with some...sewing? I suck at sewing.

PSA: Craftex dust collector bags are sewn poorly. This is the 3rd repair to this bag. New spot; same seam.

Patterns.

Fun things happen when you trim your glue ups. It's time to put these through the planer.

Making stuff in the shop and in the kitchen.

Yesterday was a bit of a clean-up and prep day in the shop. Today, I'm milling some hardwood shorties (not quite off-cuts) for another round of small items like cutting boards, spatulas, and coasters. Trying to build some inventory!

I made these coasters to match the cutting boards from earlier.

Khaleesi requires a snuggle every morning, and I love it!

Check out my newest tune, Feast or Famine, OUT NOW!

She's such a pretty kitty.

It seems strange to put this out there, given the state of things, but I've got a new tune out, Feast or Famine.

Maybe it'll take your mind off things, even if only for a few minutes. The process of making it was therapeutic and I'm quite happy with the final result.

Things are f*cked. The uncertainty of every day has never been more palpable. The age of the snake oil salesman is back, in a big way. Did it ever go away?

New music out today.
We can still make art. We can still make love. We can still make music. We can still dance.

Applying mineral oil to these boards I finished yesterday.
These are the test runs before I make bigger batches for sale. Which one do you like best?

Made with curly maple, curly cherry, walnut, and purple heart.
