open studio ... good to go !

ok, after a couple days of cleaning and organizing, we're good to go for open studio #23 ... we've got some things to see, some things for sale, and the cleanest shop since this time last year. i whine and moan about how much time it takes, but it always feels good when we are really clean (for us), like now, and ready to open the doors. come by if you can, saturday or sunday, 10 to 5. lots to see, like the big slab of mahogany above. click the photos to enlarge them.

wood shop at about 4:00 ... everybody gone but will and kit . a reclaimed chestnut king size bed, and a 12' white oak table ready to be finished next week...

i've had pottery out in the past, but this time, for the first time, there will be prices on the back.

sam's metal shop is clean and the new lathe is ready to be wired up

as usual, the banjo shop area is neat as a pin.

and kit is setting up jer jewelry in the finish room . the mahogany slab is in there as well as the claro walnut slab for sale on the wall, and there's an oak slab too that would make a small dining table

or a nice coffee table.

still waiting for the house to be finished to ship the pool table to long island

the table from last year's statehojuse show is still looking for a home.
it's a little 'outside the box', but the right person may come by this weekend.
