new brooches and zen

A few finished brooches are on my table.  The wood bases made this weekend from walnut, hickory, mahogany (a new one for me), and a piece of chokecherry.
 
 I always say that working at the sander and saw brings me a little bit of zen.  It was really cool to see that same thing happen for my 7 year old when he turned his first piece of wood on the lathe yesterday (closely supervised of course).  Who knows, perhaps we'll need to make a little more room at the workbench soon.

I'm planning to have another shop update soon, after I get a few more pieces completed.  Details to come.

Hope you all have a great start to your week.  Find some zen.

  4. the thunderstorm: I die. I miss lightning so much - we had a few strikes around here a few nights ago, a once a year occurrence and oh how I relished them :)
