Off to go see this crazy lion for Mother’s Day dinner, hopefully I make it out alive. Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful moms out there...and that obviously goes for furbaby moms too😘🌹
@JackieM_at_home You know I wanna say I recall you saying that before...there is nothing like creating something from scratch and watching it take form and enjoying the finished product
While at my favorite lumber yard, this bad boy slab caught me eyes... 1st pic $6700😳 bottom rt has the price,fancy smancy.... this place has lots of exotic woods which always gets my wheels spinning... I bought the half off figured maple instead☺️
@JackieM_at_home I recycle often, one mans trash is another ones treasure, as the saying goes😝 rescued 25 or so pallets from heading to the dump, just as I got all these mirrors. A great score for me all n all. I break pallets down in just over 2mins time, so it’s quite nice
@JackieM_at_home One of our old big retail stores closed up recently, while scanning around I noticed they had tons of mirrors on pillars. Offered em $ and day walked out with 12 thick frameless mirrors. So I’ve been doing these up when I’m bored with other stuff. Homemade green/blue copper stain
@JackieM_at_home Yeah it has sucked but if I don’t over do it, my pains have been somewhat dormant. I still dabble in the work, just not the crazy hrs and I pick what work I wanna take...Knew my body wasn’t gonna last forever, and now I’m still doing what I love to do, I love creating stuff
@JackieM_at_home It’s sad that the tree came that, but I know they are into forest conservation and that was probably from a fallen tree. It won’t go to waste and that tree will live on thru whatever piece it becomes. It’s a beautiful wood that bubinga, amazing stuff. Here’s one used as a table
@JackieM_at_home I wanna say they’re huge trees, they import the most of the slabs when it comes to these type of exotic. They carry maples cherry and walnut too but this was their largest and most expensive. Slabs run from $500 to this gem of $6700. That might’ve been 5 foot wide
It’s been bird gang wars going on around here.... mr wren is trying to find him a girl , but it’s a tuff world out here, filled with aggressive sparrows
@JackieM_at_home Well I was a union carpenter until I blew out my ulnar nerve a few yrs ago. Still do carpentry on the side,but my arm can’t do the crazy hrs of my old gig...had to sorta reinvent myself over the past few yrs,now I make stuff to sell,whether special orders or just me 🥁 stuff up
A rare miss but her reaction is priceless... you’d think these treats were five pounds and not the tiniest of tiny😝 she only missed becuz I tossed it with my right hand. She’s used to it coming from the left
@JackieM_at_home And I make all sorts of stuff outta wood, but usually I use reclaimed. So when I enter this place it turns me into a kid at the candy shop😊 that slab was every bit of 4 1/2 feet wide by 14 ft tall
@Minette_Lauren Yikes I didn’t even think of how that could’ve been lost in the mix....good thinking on saving that thru the email.... who knows, maybe the rice trick will work after a few days🤔....shit happens, there’s always something
