Debt Repaid.

I often repay someone who's kind enough to give me some wood with something from what they've parted with. Here, this is from those several rounds of cherry I got up the hill in Queen Anne.

When I delivered it, Jim wasn't home. Bu this wife appeared to be genuinely pleased and surprised to see me.

Turned out pretty well. I think, any way. The wood was under 15% moisture-wise when I got back to it. And although the markings aren't all that distinctive, it's still pretty. I turn to carving if the grain is kind of plain. Seems to work well.

And for the bottom, the usual signature Celtic knot. So much nicer than an actual signature. Don't you think?

Cherry. Walnut oil finish. 8" x 15".
