“Everything’s big in Texas” ..

But we have some really big trees here on the West Coast.  This was shot in our north Seattle neighborhood.

Peter Gruenwoldt from Seattle’s Tree Cycle, working on a 100′ Elm. The wood salvaged from this tree will be turned into some amazing live-edge furniture by a team of artists and craftsman at Urban Hardwoods. If you can wait 3 years, you could own a table that once overlooked Lake Union and the city skyline.

Workin’ on the top

I had a chance to work on the top today.  Progress has been slow because my knee has decided to flare up and hurt like .. well you know.  Sleep has been in short supply because of it as well. Stooopid knee! 

But things were feeling better today and I made some progress.  The top is a grooved frame with solid wood panel.  BTW, I love my shooting board.  I bought mine form Tico Vogt after Shannon, Matt and Marc talk about it in their WIA Wood Talk Online broad cast.  I love it!
