Marcus Thorn, thanks for checking out my wood burning, and for the nice compliment! I really admire your work, and am in awe of the creativity and precision. I think you have great style too. :)

Benzart, Hi, and thank you! I'm happy at how the piece of palm turned out. Buzzy cut me the most beautiful pieces of bamboo to put around it as a frame, and as soon as I glue it on The Right Way it will look even better! It was one of those things where each piece fit in like a puzzle, and I thought I had it right when I glued it, and then found out soon enough that it wasn't. Then Buzzy came to the rescue and pried it apart for me so I could re-do it. I'll post some pictures as soon as it's done. The piece of bamboo was a scrap piece from a tiki sign that Buzzy made and I snagged it. :) I thought it would make a cool vase, but I definitely need to fancy it up a bit. I was thinking of doing more details in the patterns, but then I thought it might get too busy kind of like the rest of my stuff. There's plenty more bamboo where that came from so I can make this one simple, and then go crazy on the next one. We'll see what happens!

So no new updates on woodburning, but we did have some fun adventures over the Thanksgiving holiday! We went to the USS Midway Museum in San Diego, visited our owl and donkey friends, went go-cart racing, and even managed to get our Christmas tree this weekend! Here are some pictures from our adventures....
