See saws

My saws are finished, and I have to say that I am pleased with the results. I built them from a kit (blade already cut, but that's about it) from Tools for Working Wood. One is sharpened for rip, one for crosscut. I used some of the maple left over from the girls' bed for the handles, and finished them with oil and wax. Now I need a new project to use them on. Maybe a boat?

Move Over Eddie Merckx, There's a New Show In Town

She did it. Amelia now rides a "two-wheeler." She took to it amazingly fast, probably from the excellent teaching she received. We use a European method our neighbor turned us on to: low seat, take off the pedals, balance first, then put the pedals back on. Works brilliantly. Just look how excited she is!

A walk in the woods

This started out as a day turkey hunting. It ended up being a day carrying my bow through the woods looking for turkeys, mushrooms, and enjoying the sunshine. God truly outdid himself this day.
