Greetings Cantanistas!
I wanted to check in and wish everyone a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season.
School has been going extremely well. Here's a shot of the city and a nice sunset the other night. We climbed up onto the roof of the building, highly frowned upon but what else could we do, and captured a few photos. It dawned on me then that it is a bit strange to be studying old world furniture making in the heart of a major city. But maybe not...?
And, strangely enough, small world that it is... an old forumite is also in the same program now. I overheard a conversation one day, specifically the phrase "sweet spot on the kukri." ??!!? Now, as we all now, this is not something that you hear everyday. So, I went in and discovered that Snuffy is now learning how to make furniture. I never knew him from the forum, but some of you may remember him.
Anyway, he sends his regards, and thought you might like a little eye candy....
If you look closely at the above photo, you'll see that the horn in the scabbards is translucent. These knives were gorgeous in person.
Here's a sampling of some of the work I've been doing at school. The next piece I'm currently making is very sweet knife display/storage case.
Tool Chest -
And a pedestal table -
detail of the post - I was really proud of how this came out.
Anyway, I hope this finds you all very well and looking forward to holidays and life in general. I wish that I could visit more often, but it is what it is!
Cheers,
