Beautiful week weather wise so most of the time was spent on garden related activities. Went to the market to buy plants, planted them, went to the market, and again, etc. Also finally got the winter tires changed over to summer ones on the cars, only about a month late but hey what's the hurry. Something those of you down south don't have to worry about but then we don't worry too much about hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, etc.
On the woodworking side, I finished cutting and rough sanding all the pieces for the two oak doll cradles. Next step is to do the round overs with the router.
I also started looking at the wood in my pile to make some bread knives. Copied the shape from our own personal one but may try to alter it as those on Andy's website look a little more shapely and heftier. Actually I think I will try more than one, a slimline like mine and something different depending on the wood. I have a piece of maple with some nice grain that I think will look pretty good as a knife.
Well it's raining pretty hard right now so I guess I will head to the basement and try to make more sawdust.
happy woodworking!
