I haven't been around much over the last couple days because the family was complaining that I built a deck, but I didn't build any stairs to get up on it!! Soooooo....to get them to shut up, I've been building stairs. :(
During this time, I received a box of goodies from David Keller.:)
156145
In the box was his wonderful Yellow Box Burl Hollowform, which I gotta say, it is prettier in person. The discussion about the finial being too fat...I'm afraid that that was an illusion of photography. The proportions are wonderful.:)

It's not mine anymore though. My wife stole it. In her words, "You know how you walk into a room where all the decor is just perfect...you don't single out any one thing....It just looks perfect....That's what this piece is."
Then she stole it. She wants to find a matching calligraphy pen and put it in the library in the poetry section with all the antique books. So, I'll get to look at it, but I just can't touch it.:rolleyes:
I wanted to put it here

But it's not mine anymore. :cool:
Also in the box was this great pen.

Honduran Rosewood Burl...looks like a really good CA finish...but I'm not sure. And it writes too! Mamma said I can have the pen. :)
And...David wanted to give me work to do.:)
The blanks are Hickory, Apricot, and a slab of Yellow Box Burl. Now all I have to do is turn them into a different shape without destroying them!!
Thank you David...You made my week!!:)
