    Did you miss me? ;)

    Really sorry about being away for so long with no explanation. I've had a tough couple of months personally and haven't felt very social. My dog got sick and died, among a bunch of other stuff. But we got a new puppy last week and things are looking a lot better these days. :) Our little Baby Boy Bandit:

    Thanks! I've got a pair of George Nakashima inspired end tables cookin' - the tops are a pair of crotch slabs from my sister's English Walnut and the bases are black walnut, also from one of her trees. But these tables are mine. :D

    Nice curl on that slab. Check out Gary Polmateer's workbench and sons bed build thread if you haven't had a chance.

    It wasn't the smell, it was the decibel level and the rattling windows that startled me out of a deep sleep! :startled: :picard:
    I was gonna ask if everybody was OK, but it seemed like nobody else was awake :jaw:
    :rofl: :lol:
    Anyways, welcome back and glad to hear the Fiskars mystery was solved! :yes:
