Our 50th Anniversary

Looks great rg. You're going to have more business than you can handle. Might even cut into your fishing time. Lol

[rgfixit]

Thanks. Just hoping to sell some to support the hobby.....habit.

If all I did was fish, it would be easy. But, I guess I’m not built that way. I kind of force myself to learn something new. The brain keeps the body alive.

Probably have to mow the lawn in a couple days. Now there’s some brain coma.

I actually enjoy mowing the lawn. I mow a touch over 2 acres. As far as learning something new. I'm right there with you on that. I have many irons in the fire as they say. Lol.

I really don’t mind mowing. I do our home and the one next door. It was a bit of a pain when I was working. This year I don’t think I’ll mind much at all.

Made a few more sample rings yesterday.
Flame maple



Some figured Sepele Mahogany



Put together a nice sample box as well.





Paperwork is on the  way for our local farm/craft market. I’m going to test the waters there this summer and see how it goes.

They really look awesome Bob.

Thanks Mac. I’m getting better at it. I have another dozen  cores coming this week to complete the samples.

I found a source for 24k dead soft solid gold wire for our actual wedding bands. Stuff is expensive so I want all the practice I can get before making our bands.

Very nice....

Thanks Dom. Can’t wait for the first market day. My Son and his Girlfriend are really talented artists and are going to join me.

It’s a little intimidating at my age but not something I’ve never done. Lots of work to keep me busy.

38 days and counting down. We’ve chosen the attire for the ceremony. Hawaiian shirts, shorts and flip flops. Gotta find an extra small muumuu for my Bride to be.....again.
