And then there were TWO!
I made the lighter one from the pallet wood
I stacked a few weeks ago.
I also made the back shorter to try out different designs.
As usual, the second bluebird house went together
much more quickly and easily!
Very enjoyable!
As long as I was in the area, I finished the bowl on the lathe,
a grapefruit bowl again.
This bowl doesn't have the orange coloring in this section of wood but it does include spalting
and a good grain pattern.
I also kept the irregularities in two spots on the rim.
The bowl is 5.5" wide and 2.5" tall.
I worked for house to catch up on the Dakota Inspired QAL;
I had to make 8 more red blocks which I did
and then sewed them into diagonal rows according to instructions--with only a two more to do--no, I didn't miss a row-
it is stacked and ready to tackle first thing in the morning
so I will be able to then prepare for clue #8!
I can see you setting up a stand at our farmer's market and making a fortune selling your wooden things...lol.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is just unbelievable. I can't imagine who thinks up such things.
Who knew that grapefruit wood was so gorgeous inside the bark?! I think it is my favorite of all the woods you’ve done so far.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are still keeping busy! I agree with Marsel that the grapefruit wood is just so beautiful. The quilt is pretty - and looks complicated!
ReplyDeleteHow do you possibly get so much done? The birdhouses will make some little bluebirds very, very happy.
ReplyDeleteThe bowl is beautiful. I always find the fact that each woodgrain is so different is what makes the bowls so pretty. I agree with Deb. You cold make a fortune selling them and use it to finance all of your hobbies! Love that quilt. Iam amazed by how intricate it is.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
