What's in the mail?

Finally my his and hers spoon knives (actually right and left handed) arrived along with some torrified maple.

Think we need to see some of your carvings now. Chuck
You mean, I actually have to do something with them rather than just put on the shelf and admire them?

Just about to get back to this "finial" that my wife asked me to do. It has advanced past this point, but still needs a lot of work. She had me a long list of honey-dos that took me away from it. Not too sure if the spoon knives will get a chance to be used on it. Trying to do this all with hand tools - well except for the initial turning on the lathe, but likely when having to do the details, probably have to resort to power - That SPF is not the finest in receiving detail work - tends to splinter and chip. It will be painted.

In the world of woodturning, we could safely say he thinks outside the box and does some well executed pieces. Same can be said for his furniture, sculpture, drawings, and other art he also does!
 
Just got a bunch of steel in the mail. A huge thanks to @vegas urban lumber for sending it to me. Hoping to turn it into a bunch of adze’s. I might try to do some hatchets too, but I think they are a bit small for that. Overall, a really nice haul.

64 lbs of steel should last me for quite a while:sarcastic:

Most incredible part being that, between the off street parking and our house, lies 56 steps going up the side of the hill... He found the package halfway up the stairs. They usually leave even the light ones at the bottom...
Very generous of you to send that our way. Much appreciated.
