Hello and good morning everyone, hope all is well out there! Had a great few days these past. spent some good times with the boys in the shop and in the house. I was freaking slammed all day Thursday and most of Friday before I got the boys from School, sent out another order to Haze for V3 WPA's 14 & 18mm. Was rushed, before I could finish this order they added some more, they didnt make it out Friday, will be next week.
Got with George at VC and have another round of woodies to work on and get out a week from tomorrow. Still working on custom stuff in between orders, got plenty to do but squeezed in a few hours with my 2 oldest in the shop yesterday. Connor got these beauties done, Red Oak Salt & Pepper shakers done, he wanted to burn these too, really like how the heat brought out the red in the grain as well!
They need a home if anyone is interested! Carter got this piece done and will go out to his next customer on the list
Its a two toned Amboyna Burl piece made from the same blank, love the creamy top and red burled lower portion. Will make a fine piece for his customer!
@NickDlow we gotta dig around and get some more Buckeye Burl to make for you, like I said the initial piece just didnt make it but we have some new tooling to make the assembly process much easier. After spending most of the morning in the shop with them it was time to round all three of them up and was so in need of doing some spring cleaning in the house. Got each of them to work on their rooms and closets, throw out what they dont play with anymore, well not throw out but bagged and ready for Goodwill, they vacuumed their rooms and did a great job. I gathered up all my hunting gear that had piled up from the season and put it away in totes and back in to the shop they went. Put away all the guns too, I swear I must have had them in 4 or 5 different corners in the house. Just gets tough to put stuff away after a really early hard hunt knowing that we are just going to pull em all out again in a few days. I put away some other clutter and even rearranged the living room somewhat. Made it a little more movie friendly now with the added sound effects I acquired back at Christmas. Took a few hours to do all this, took a quick break before doing something different, now for a little Cook & Tell, I got a big fresh slab of Salmon, the boys love it as do I, am all about fish
@KidFated. my man, you got to try this! So I took out the salmon, dried off any water, laid it out on some tin foil, rubbed it with olive oil and hit it with S&P, put in the oven for a few minutes, not long.
Right side is before the dosing, left side is after and before the oven. I really like a cream butter sauce, I am all over at any restaurant if they are doing it, so I googled how to make a lemon butter cream sauce and there ya go, I had the recipe, had to get white wine, heavy cream, make lemon zest, whisk it on the oven with a little salt and such squeeze in the lemon, and WOW the fish was ready, plates fixed, smothered my chunk with the cream sauce and HOLY COW was it amazing!!!
I could not believe how it turned out, never have I eaten a sauce like this before, the salmon just was so accentuated by the flavor. LOL the boys arent for sauce, they are just straight up fish kinda guys, I told them you have to try it it, the sauce accentuates the flavor, they said what, "What is accentuate?" OMGosh got a laugh out of that and had to explain the meaning, they still werent digging it.
@NickDlow Just you wait bro, I have really been excited about the walnut burl wall clock, think that will be a great project for Connor and his biz. I cant wait to get all this latest shipment of wood in, going to be really sweet opening it all, I get giddy like a little kid when doing it! Really glad you like those new pieces and gotta give it up to
@Snappo for all the work he does in acquiring it, well done!
@Reflections Good morning, aint nothing like wood shopping, I always ask my guy when I place the order is there any thing I should know about, new arrivals stuff you have tucked away, sometimes he does and this time was a bonus! Hope all is well your way!
@stickstones Hmmm thats a great question, I cant say I ever have, hmm am sure its out there and would be interested in working some if so. Good question!
@Snappo Wow what species have you seen in that? Is it petrified as in stone? I have seen and talked to duck call makers that turn corian they say its just like turning wood but you have to really take your time, would be neat to do so!
@Spocks_Katra Look out, your 3rd one, thanks so much for the return business my man, I appreciate you and hope all is well for you!
Got to get out to the shop shortly and pack orders for shipping, just had to look at the calendar, I know next monday is a holiday today but bet ya I forget it is next sunday when I am packing orders thinking they just got to go! Pls someone remind me this time next week that there is no shipping on Monday! Wish you all the best out there and hope you have a great super bowl sunday!
certainly won't be the last. Couldn't be happier! So much better then I had expected, now I need to figure out what else I can buy for my vapes. Thanks again Ed, it's perfect!
