Second "art" Antler Basket. Catherine, I'm going to need lessons!

Punishment is now unfashionable... because it creates moral distinctions among men, which, to the democratic mind, are odious. We prefer a meaningless collective guilt to a meaningful individual responsibility.
Thomas Szasz

Seven-step










Walnut Chairs seem to be some of the most popular chairs, but when they dry out, the rails should be reinforced with screws....gluing will not solve the problem, the wood will find another place to split.

Music is the art of the prophets and the gift of God.
Martin Luther

Sometimes it's not about the chair........








"Winter's Quiet" ........the second basket I've done after 30 years of chair repair and caning! I used just about everything in the shop including the 4-point white tail antler. Since I have a pile of sheds and kills, I might try and put one of these together every now and then. This is an "art" basket, (more decoration than basket) but would serve nicely as a centerpiece or table scape. It's about 10" by 14" $160

I love a set of "matching chairs" with hand drilled holes so nothing matches.....

Done in fine-fine select cane.



Little White Rocker continued.......


Now that the Christmas rush is over I finished that white rocker with 6mm binder cane in the back. Sold this rocker almost immediately and haven't found a project of my own yet so it's on to the customers!
