Hi All:
Haven't been here is awhile since other areas of my life took priority but while I was gone I did a small garden bench made out of barn wood. I have a very large barn that was built around 1850. We are in the process of doing some repairs and I saw all that wood just laying there and thought, why not. I am not the best woodworker in the world (understatement) but was actually happy with the way it turned out. It will be a gift for a friend who lost her father. I tried rastering the top but found vectoring the following saying into it actually worked better and made a nice dark contrast to the weathered wood.
"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather our loved ones shining down to let us know they are happy."
I added stars all around the quote and will upload a photo as soon as I can get the card reader on my computer working.
