Best coffee table I ever saw was a crate SKS rifles (10)

The guy put a glass top on it backlit the rifles and etched on the glass “In case of emergency, break glass”

Very clever, $650 for the crate of rifles at the time.

It's good that carvers still carve.

As a matter of interest, Grandfathers on both sides of the family were woodcarvers. I have a few small carving tools still.

Even more important is the story of "Blue Zones" places where people seem to live longer than normal and don't die of cholesterol or heart issues.

One of the indicators is that the men in their old age still engage in occupations that are both mental and physical:

Stonemason

Carpenter

Cheese maker

Fisherman

Bee keeper

Goat hearder

Herbalist.

So to all the carvers out there....

Don't panic

Keep Carving.

I learned a lot from Harold Enlow and Tom Wolfe.

Wolfe taught me not to fight the wood, it has a spirit and you are there to let it out, the wood spirit.

Conversely Enlow taught me to put the spirit in

Its a yin yang thing LOL

Here is my basic problem, yesterday, I was all in a hurry to get breakfast, then I cooled my jets at the gun shop waiting for the vfw to open so I could get a bloody mary (It’s my day off)

I said jeeze if we had brunch and dancing girls here I could make one dang stop.

These people are running me ragged.

Off to breakfast :)

Northwest Lumber Company was started by Harry Greeley in 1956 & has been handed down two generations! At first, we were selling plywoods & construction grade lumber & over the decades, we have evolved from selling mainly construction grade lumber & power tools to selling high-end furniture grade wood, tone-woods for instrument building & fine woodworking hand tools. We have recently added a Wood-Mizer to our collection & have been slabbing big logs for table tops, bars & benches.
