It has been a long time since I have been able to post. Here are a few things I have been up to. The first is the table I had mentioned earlier. My brother in law did two tours in iraq and came home with some buddies a few years back. One guy has this marble from one of saddam's palaces. He left it in my father in laws garage and never came back. After a few years my in laws had to use it or throw it away. Both my father in law and I were able to create a table. Here is mine.

I took the wood from the old table and used it to create a surfboard caricaturing (is that a word?) my wife and I. I then hung it my back yard.

I spent a good deal of the summer building a pergola for the deck. I had to put the breaks on a lot of the carving time I had.

I actually borrowed an idea from a another poster who used pvc to make bamboo. I did the same and it is doubling as electrical conduit. You can see it if you look closely at the posts on the right.

I did manage a few carving projects. I will post them up soon.
