Four cutting boards in process for Open Studios. Last year I sold all of my cutting boards, so hoping they sell out again.

Plus some birdhouses, chairs, benches and coffee tables. A few done, but still a lot to finish.

Taking a break from the coffee table to start on some birdhouses. I promised that I'd try out some new designs this year. These two are from plans I found for free from Sun Catcher Studios (https://suncatcherstudio.com/).

I have the base of the table ready. And it's sanded. Just need to stain it and assemble (the base isn't attached to the top yet).

Then we need to decide if we want to keep this table or the one that's currently in our living room. I'll sell the one we're not keeping.

Making progress on the live edge coffee table. Done with the flattening, put some blue epoxy resin in the cracks and sanded the top. Next step is to build the base, assemble, stain and finish the top.

I hope to finish in the next week or two, depending on the weather. My workshop is my driveway which is in full sun after noon. It's too hot for me if it's 90+ degrees.

I'm starting to get ready for Lodi Open Studios - flattening a walnut slab for a live-edge coffee table. Filled up a large portion of our Organics/Compost bin with all the shavings.

I'm pretty excited to be on the front page of today's Lodi News-Sentinel, along with Barbara Utting, fellow artist and neighbor. I can't recall being on the front page of a newspaper before.
