Shaving Horse

I've been woodworking, primitive and modern all my life, but I've never had a shaving horse. I just never got around to building one until this weekend. Went to Scotty's and one beer lead to another and before we knew it I had his new Stihl chainsaw and went to work on a poplar log laying by the barn. Split in half and roughed out the head. Brought back home and finished today. Now just a project so I've got some reason the use it.

Now that's recycling

I had been off on vacation hanging around the house. Dennis came over for a few days and we took the Ranger to WNF to do a couple days riding, 75miles worth I'll add. But as the Otway covered bridge restoration is well on it's way the're a lot of old siding boards they weren't

going to reuse. Dennis and I loaded enough of them to put them up in the kitchen for the barn siding look. Well it came out great, and the pictures really don't do it justice. I also refinished a maple burl table I made over 20yrs ago that the finish had bubbled. Again the picture doesn't do it justice either. I think it looks better than the day I did it. So once again Dennis and I kicked out another project. Him and I are taking the Ranger to Colorado later this summer to explore the Silverton/Gunnison area. Can't wait.
