This is another 'box' even though it isn't square! I have been enjoying learning the many ways of planning and executing the two parts individually then make them fit perfectly! The black here is filling a crack in the Holly that went right through to the inside which would've rendered the piece useless except for the filler.
I have learned a new way for hollowing the base and it worked! I enjoyed working on this despite...
.....the grueling temperatures in the garage! I have several fans pointed at me while I work until the sweat running in my eyes stings too much! Then I am grateful for my new shower and sit and knit for a few hours!!!
Fun to catch up! The holly’s stark contrast of dark/light wood is still fascinating to me.

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting and pretty box!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty but oh, my gosh....that is hot! I get you still wanting to be out there because if I had a screened in area I'd be out there cranking my drum carder all summer. I can take the heat-for a bit but I can't take the mosquitoes. Our locals never seem to sleep. They bite all day.
ReplyDeleteIf I were in those temperatures long, you would find me in a puddle of sweat.
