it's a heat wave, no doubt about it. here on sept. 26th, '07, it is around 90 degrees. since it will only turn cooler, and the price of oil is skyhigh, all windows are open to let the heat in. it would be great to not turn up the thermostat until october.
i am working on a canarywood block, right now at 80 grit. it's rather plain, but nevertheless a sweet piece of wood. too hot today to finish it= 120, 180, 240, 320 grit. i make sculptural bowls. soon i will post some photos and links on this site, but since this is my first blog ever, and i don't even own a digital camera, i have some footwork to do.
i'd like to go over to my favorite local watershed... (it's been rather dry this summer) and check out some pools and see if there are any trout swimming around. that, and this time of year there are sometimes gangs of cedar waxwings chomping up on berries and insects, swooping across the stream, conducting flight maneuvers that pilots can only dream about.

Nice Kip! Can't wait till you get a digital camera. You may become addicted to all of this! xp
very...interesting start. maybe begin with what you do, where you are, then the bowl, and explain what canarywood is etc. Looking forward to the photos!!!
