Good Bye to Twenty Twenty One

 I said no more pics of the winery table until it came to it's final resting place but that was before recent developments.  For reasons unknown to me, it will probably be 9-12 months before the table is actually situated in the tasting room.

So it needed to be stored somewhere other than my studio.

Some professionals came to take the table away to a storage facility.  

From this morning mere minutes from when the movers came and carted it away.

The professionals came.  I'm using that word because some banter that took place between me and them.

They came a bit understaffed in my estimation so I ordered myself to be drafted into duty.  That's why there aren't any photos of the top being loaded up.

But I took this, when Lulo took off his jacket to show me his professional shirt!

They wheeled everything away into the truck and that was that. 

Bonus pics!!!!

Decided after decades of storing wine in cardboard boxes that a wine rack was needed.

Here seeing how the spacing was before gluing.

Also decided I didn't need one more trivet but decided to make one anyway with left over wine rack plywood strips.  Skylight reflected in the puddle of oil used to finish it.

Goodbye to a very interesting year and a see you later to the table I made during the year.

A walk around the block

 Walking around the kitchen block that is.

Opening the front door and walking into to the kitchen are the three arching horizontals meeting up with the single vertical eye.

Yes, the black outlet upper right will be replaced with something I make.

As you walk into the kitchen the two corner verticals start to appear.

Taking a hard left and you see we're back to horizontals, with a three knot vertical on the right.

Directly right of the oven is the wide world of spices drawer, the grain curves inward to hold the rest of the expanse of doors and drawers.

Bonus Thanksgiving pics!!

Decided since the damn cool winery table is still here, I'd press it into service for a 15 person sit down Thanksgiving dinner.

The table was thoroughly covered with multiple layers of protection from the gluttony to take place on it.

And as usual, the house cocktails for the evening is on the board.

And Olo-Peacho....Oloroso Sherry and a Giffard peach liqueur ...damn yummy and perfect for a Fall drink.
