Just a quick post to let you all know that I haven’t been completely idle.
This 10 foot long bench and the octagon pool bench with table are two of the six that I have made for the park here with a skill saw and screw gun from stock lumber. Nothing fancy but comfortable, durable places for people to sit and enjoy this areas wonderful winter weather.
These are 2 spoons I carved to amuse myself when I did not wish to do anything complicated or particularly difficult. The top spoon is made from a piece of madrone that was a gift from my good friend Gerry in Medford, Oregon. The bottom spoon is of eucalyptus that I collected in Arizona. It is from a tree that was killed in the freeze of 2011.
I finally finished this little guy. I started carving him at Cape Disappointment where one of my fellow campers who saw me carving said he was a cute little man and the name has stuck. He is a freehand caricature, my very first.
Happy Travels,
Gordon
