Tam's Dragonfly

After a year and a half, I was finally able to give Tam her dragonfly. When they moved to Grand Manan I wanted to have something for a house warming gift when we visited them, and with everyone being very busy we decided to just take a day and go. The dragonfly was made out of cedar posts I was given, I cut one and glued it up to make the wings and just turned another for the body. It is about 18 inches long and wide, inspired by earlier dragonfly's I made the previous year.

New Trim

With all the work being done at the house in Searsville I finally got a chance to do some woodworking, I make the trim and baseboards. It may not sound like much but we got the size and profile we wanted and at a better price overall.

These are the mock up pieces I made to see if we like it. They are 8 inches high and a nice ¾ inch quarter round, all made from pine.

It's nice to have a shop to do the work even the space for painting. I like getting boards 10 and 12 feet long for the full run of a wall and not having to piece it together.
