77th Birthday Present

I decided to splurge on MsBubba's birthday present to me. She doesn't know what it is yet but It will be one of my favorite presents from her. It will arrive a little late but that's OK to.

C.S. just finished an American Welsh Stick Chair class and I bought the Cherry chair he made while teaching the class. From the picture it is a beauty.


More when I unpack the crate,

    Bob,

    Bob,

    Thanks. I wanted the chair because I wanted the chair but I justified buying it because I want to see how it was made. Right now my chair builds are in the blind because all I have to go by are photos. I should learn a lot getting hands on.

    77? You are in great shape for 77. You certainly deserve a nice chair.

    Happy b'day.

    Steve,

    Thanks on both. After two days of moving wood and workbenches around the shop I feel every one of 'em :-). I did find a full cart of firewood hidden along with some really nice cutoffs over those two days.

      Thanks Lionel,

      I guess so, at least I'm still upright and haven't been put in a kiln to dry. Truth is while I can't lift slabs of timber like I did 10 or so years ago by working smarter I can still function and if the virus doesn't get me there are some good years left.

      Hope your "remain in place" is going well,
