With all my Christmas presents made and given to their recipients, my year of crafting has drawn to a close. Next up, I will be in the crawl space replacing rotten joists. When it comes to woodwork that is among the worst of jobs.
This year I made a number of things that began with through-dyed birch veneer, which is then stack laminated, resawed, stacked and glued again, resawed, then finally built into a bowl blank by me, at which time I can turn it on my lathe.
I made a number of large ones this year, in different colors and patterns:
I also made some smaller ones out of leftover pieces of other bowls:
I like the results as do my customers.
And since MamaM mentioned dogs, here are some pictures of my old dog - she is approaching 15 years old now but we still get out and get our miles in:
And while we are on the subject, it will be nearly 70 degrees here later this week.
