I would like a small table, sanded smooth, no stain just a clear finish so I can see the wood. Thanks!

I just finished slicing up some memosa small slabs, but holy crap what a beautiful grained wood that stuff is.
Next is the Pecan and pistachio, and then the fig wood.
I have enough wood to keep me busy making expensive stuff for awhile.

I finally got around to putting away the various bric-a-brac gifts from Christmas and I got a better look at this little jar my MIL gave to my daughter.

It's been really windy today and it's been making that weird and creepy moaning noise around my windows.

I'm here--just nursing a hangover.
If I "owned" Dick last night, I'm disowning him today. 
Moonie is still a dumb bitch though.

If you owned me last night it's forever, you're a very lucky girl.

I was reading in the paper today about two brothers that were arrested for robbery. Their names amused me:
Carvel Rayshawd Crane and Carl Rayshon Crane.

Good Irish names.
I just busted my ass in the yard. I canopied a huge tree and cut three huge laurel bushes down to size (I hope they don't miss their leaves). I have dirty fingernails and smell of chainsaw grease. If I were a man, I would go hump something now.

oh i LOVE mountain laurel! the yard of the house i grew up in (Maryland) was full of it. i've never been able to grow it up here. but it's nostalgic to me.
my Dad built the house with his own two hands, and dug up the laurel up in the Blue Ridge, it thrived and flourished.

LC, I have taken a trip through the Shenandoah Valley. I fell in love with mountain laurel, too. These weren't mountain laurels, though. Some other kind of evergreen laurel.
Are you a plant person? I saved some five foot cuttings I was going to try to propagate. Know anything about getting them to root?

Five foot is much too long. You don't want it using all its energy to keep five foot of itself going. It will need to concentrate its energy on growing roots so you might want to consider inches rather than feet.

Aw. I wanted to put them around the perimeter of the front yard. I have a HUGE pile of cuttings. I will concentrate on the smaller ones...
