Finally!

Took quite a while, averaging a few minutes a day, but Louis' chair/step stool is done. Well, a few coats of finish to go but will look the same.




Been fun dealing with Juniper.  Basically soft but tears out or chips out at every chance. Challenging.

I'd like to coat it with epoxy before handing it over to a two year old but that's not practical. I plan to see how it does and maybe do some refinishing a few years down the road if necessary.

The above was drafted a few weeks ago. In Portland now and it fits!

Found out it holds two. 
Sort of. 

Big Timbers game this Sun. We are down by two but if we prevail we make the final game Dec 7th. 
UPDATE:  In case you hadn't heard, we lost, season over.

Back home now and awaiting kids visit for Thanksgiving. 

Clear and cold here and supposed to stay that way for a while.

Stay warm.
