Thread: Ruminating on Entralling Timber

HI Wendy…great to see you ‘re back & wow….how I understand your sentiments…felt like I was writing the post….only difference....I am not worried about feeling for “dents” once the piece is finished…

...if I discover them then, yep its back to patch them…but must confess I have one piece of furniture that I actually bring the sander inside to sand back & buff it up, just taking out the “scratches”…..WHY…well it’s the bottom rail on my bed…my cat jumps from the side bureau to the bed…a leap of about 3-4 feet…and yes sometimes obviously a little lazy and grabs hold with his claws….its amazing….how it marks…so yes every now and then I sand it up again…as it’s the piece that I feel each day…yes got no-one else to make the bed…so I find the scratches all to often!
Just finished making a Queen sized bed…my first major commission job….turned out glorious…starting new job on Sunday….so its all going on in my head right now….oh isn’t it such a joy when we realize the fact of truing up the wood first….lol….think that is the point when we go from a “greenie to a novice…” or beginner to starter….LOL….
......gosh yes, I still have lots to learn but hey…enjoying every minute of it….the hardest thing in life I find is finding someone else that understands & shares your sentiments ….sadly I had that….& now don’t think it will every be replaced….still trying to come to terms with loosing my soul-mate….. we both just loved wood & woodworking together!...
Ok…before I start to get too upset…must go…house work doesn’t wait…its the weekend, so must get that done so I can play during the week….
Cheer KEKEMO...Kerry
