branches pruned from an ornamental chinese cherry tree offered the opportunity to turn a different wood.

The smell is heavenly - wish I could offer scratch and sniff

don't you just LOVE that colour!

resawing is a slow exercise in patience

these are REALLY old juniper stalks - downed by a winter ice storm.

out of mighty branches good things get created... okay - so that branch isn't all that big... trust me, it took the slow-growing juniper shrub MANY years to get to that diameter.

by 9 AM I'd already made quite the mess in the woodshop. Sawdust is my mental health release...

These wine stoppers are show stoppers - the purple of the juniper is lovely.

I love getting unusual packages - nice people send me wood. Yup - logs in the mail ;-)
