Thanks for asking! That bench is a funny one. I got the green log from a mate. He said it was an invasive ornamental tree from china, it is usually grown indoors in a pot, but someone planted it out and it grew to be huge. Other than that i have no idea, but it was sappy as all hell, that much i can tell you.
Splitting it was an absolute bastard, I broke a maul trying to rive it because the grain was twisting in a spiral. I ended up making straight cuts along the sides with a circ saw, then worked on it with wedges to open. Then i would get into that crack with a hatchet and even secateurs to cut the connecting fibres. Took the better part of a weekend. I would not recommend this.
After power planing it flat, getting those through holes cut was another drama, but that was mostly because I'm still learning how to work a bit and brace.
New Zealand grapples with howwhether or not to protect its braided rivers.
There is full scientific consensus on how protect braided rivers and the communities living on their banks, but our regional councils have been neutered and immobilised by corporate interest. There is no mystery here.
Incredible work. The way the dof is applied to the floor on the single bean is confusing my brain though. Is that from a single exposure or is that also built up?
I have gone through somewhat of an emotional journey and I have come to accept the fact that you chose to present us with the freaky green booger on the purple bean.
I do find it interesting that you offer us a wallpaper with a watermark?
So he met both these accomplished adult Russian women just going about his billionaire day, nothing to do with his good buddy Jeff whatsoever. When he caught the nasty clap from one of these only two accomplished adult Russian women, he ran straight to his good buddy Jeff for help spiking his wife, even though his good buddy Jeff had nothing to do with traffickingprocuring introducing him to these exactly two, definitely adult, women.
I have no further questions, just glad we can finally put these "BILL GATES IS DEFINITELY A PEDOPHILE" rumours to bed. Phew.
When the post is making the case for stronger legislation, and you respond by bringing up the individual responsibility of those affected, it certainly gives the impression that you are arguing against regulation and shifting the blame toward the personal failings of the victims.
Most of the people affected in this hack appear to be the elderly and disabled. Many of them do lack the ability to protect themselves, not through apathy or ignorance, but because they are some of the most vulnerable people in our society. I think it's important to approach these issues with compassion and understanding, rather than getting on your high horse and preaching to the choir.
Got a nice even golden brown sear on that chicken

I like to switch up the order.
Thats Mr. Of Nazareth to you.
Drugs and woodworking.
Turns out the real four million dollars was the stakeholder value we synergized along the way!
Brilliant. I've seen this setup before actually, just forgot about it. I'm gonna have to do it.
You have any spoons to post on here? Would be great to see what other carvers are up to on here.
That's the first spoon i carved with my new block! It's made of a fascinating native wood called rewarewa.
I go from log to rough spoon with the axe, then I finish with a knife. I'll finish it with food safe tung oil.

It's a great spot to sit and carve.

Also you linked the wrong article i think.
Interesting that we have tantalize and tantalizing, but we're stuck with "Sisyphean". I vote we add sisyphize and sisyphizing.
"I find this job sisyphizing."
So... female?
Nah that's Mohammed Bin Salman. He is Saudi. This guy is an Emirati businessman. I don't even think he's royalty, he just has a fancy sounding name.
Thank you! Appreciate your work mate.
