Two For The Road

Weekenders in "Apple Green" and "Clearest Ocean Blue" catching some rays before heading up to Gardiner, Maine on Friday, 6/22. They will be available for your relaxing pleasure at the Center For Maine Craft located at the Turnpike Service Plaza. Bring a beverage, bring your laptop. Take a test rest. Let me know what you think!

Works In Progress

These two Weekenders are almost complete. Install seat slats. Cut and sand bungs. Final coats of finish. Then they will be ready for delivery to The Center For Maine Craft at the service plaza in Gardiner, off Maine Turnpike Exit 51. I would like to kindly invite you to stop by and say hello. They will be for sale, so if you fall in love while sitting, you can take them home and enjoy them on your own front porch or deck or dock or great room for that matter. Or if you would like a different color give me a call. I am forever building more, more, more.

Painting Chair Parts

I just finished brushing on the 2nd coat for some 60 or so "Weekender" chair parts. Painting is one of those relaxing jobs where the mind is allowed to wander with minimal potential for drastic consequences. Have I painted my hand more than once? Sure. Spilled a whole quart of expensive paint? You bet. Tracked said expensive paint into the house? Absolutely. Still there's something so sweetly rewarding about being surrounded by a bundle of freshly painted chair parts. I know I am getting near the end of another craftsman's journey. I am close to completing another set of Weekender chairs. Soon somebody is going to have some of my Fresh Art on their lawn or patio. It doesn't get much better than this, does it?
