>Gotta finish the patio table for the back porch. Pretty basic design made out of red cedar, but I want to get a bit of T&T oil-varnish finish on it before I subject it to the great urban outdoors. Fortunately, my wife (who commissioned the thing) is away for few days so there is no actual pressure if the weather ends up being too nice for working

My weekend will be spent finishing up my mess from landscaping and gardening outside.

The wood related content is that I plan on doing some decking as we have quite a few boards that need to be replaced. The Previous owner couldn't have picked a worse design as the decking in a few select areas needs to be changed to prevent rotting.

On Sunday I'm heading to a Pergola Party to welcome some new people to the neighbourhood. (Not even a year at our new place and we are already the grizzly veterans welcoming the newbies!)

Of course I'll also have to check out some garage sales tomorrow.

Have a great weekend!

totes

Jack Guzman from Maine

>I was so encouraged by the success of my attempt at a red oak tote that I made another of rosewood.I didn't get it as smooth as I would have liked because I started to itch.Don't know if it's psychosomatic from reading about wood reactions but I don't want to push it.It's too pretty a wood not to be able to work with.

So I started my third and final tote from cherry last night,bored the hole off center,ruining a nice piece of figured cherry,so---to make this looong story short; I'm going to start from scratch and make a cherry tote,and then see what new project catches my fancy.Have fun ---Crackerjack

Maybe some shop cleanup time, too; it's a wreck.
