One the activities we enjoy during our winters in Arizona is working with wood in our workshop. When we were staying at Valle del Oro in Mesa, we took the training to use the woodshop. We each made a picture frame, then moved on to intarsia--making scenes with pieces of wood that are cut, shaped and made into pictures.
After we moved to Superstition Views, we added a workshop to our winter home and I learned to use the lathe, making bowls. Later, we both took a class in turning pens.
Since then, John has made lots of pens, I have turned a large number of bowls and we have both made intarsia projects.
This year I found a book on making boxes using the band saw. This is the first one I completed.
John has been using the scroll saw to make scenes like I showed in a previous post. This past couple of weeks, he make this beautiful poinsettia door topper.
This work has been fun, it has kept us busy, and it gives us something to do in the air conditioned shop when the temperature hits 100+. I think we will continue with more projects, even when it cools down.
You've both become Skilled Craftsman at working with wood.
