Our headboard--a long awaited piece of furniture



from rough maple John gave me





and rough walnut Jim I gave me in the form of a log

 


to nice planed boards




to legs laminated together



to the end--a walnut/maple/paduak headboard

 The final piece of furniture is not what I had hoped for and certainly not what Terry had been promised but it was the best I could do given what I had to work with.  The legs are laminated 3/4" maple and walnut and the cross boards are hard maple and walnut divided by pieces of paduak which I had to purchase.  No copper but maybe another time.  I do think it goes in our bedroom but in the end when a project does not turn out to be what one had planned there is an element of disappointment.
The temps this morning were hilarious, the indoor/outdoor reading on the kitchen table was 26 and 62.  Guess which was in and which was out!  I went out to the wood shop and the temp in there is 36, yiks.  As I looked out towards the garage the roof over the car is total white with frost and the roof over the wood shop is kind of white.  I guess a ceiling does make a difference.  This is really the first frost we have had so I am guessing more leaves will start to fall quickly.
Yesterday I was able to spend most of my time in the wood shop. Much progress was made on some things and the three storms for the kitchen were painted and then put up.  This morning the windows in the kitchen are clear instead of being frosty--nice.
Wow, this FP this morning seems extra good, maybe it tastes better when the temp is below freezing.
Enough for now.
