well!....*proper & humble self-effacing look*

as I PM'd Willie-O, I have been at a craft show this weekend...it is the middle of the "season", and I am up to my clavicle in wood and paperwork about wood......so I missed all this!

I do love playing with wood, and when I started bringing "show & tell" to the Getaway a few years ago, some folks (mostly those I only see once a year) demanded I bring stuff every year! And now that we are at this camp, with an obvious place for a 'folk marketplace', it just grew!~ We had wood, mushrooms, jewelry, instruments....and the usual tables of CDs from CAMSCO and others.....it seemed to work fine!

Yep...Ol' Bobert done fixed me up proper...(I hope)...he said he had some stuff I might wants mess with, and a few days ago, a pickup truck arrived with two gigantic roots from some "clearing" that Bobert was doing to enhance his Shangra-La out in W. Ginny......so now I have to figger out how to whack these "things" into usable chunks and see what's inside 'em!

(Manzanita is a shrub/small tree that grows in the US southwest....only the roots are really usable. VERY hard & heavy, but beautiful when you can manage to get all the mud & rocks out and shined & polished)

Pictures...yep...I have LOTS....I will send this post, then go see what I have in a jumble on my site and post some links for those who like such things....

Thanks to all who said nice things....
