GG's,

 

Some months back I reported on my retirement and new shop. Since then I've
been busy painting the new condo and other things, so getting back to
woodworking has been slow. Happy to report I finished my first project - a
Shaker Sewing Stand done in  cherry with pine as a secondary wood. Not as
grandiose as a Chippendale highboy, but enough to get the juices flowing
again. Per my approach to the hobby, this was made completely by hand except
for turning the pedestal and knobs on my 75 year old lathe. More projects
are on the horizon and should be rolling out regularly now that other tasks
are almost done.

There are additional pix in the album showing various phases of the work.
