I haven't posted much since I returned from Tennessee. But I have been busy. This is a memorial I made for my sister. African mahogany with a Cocobolo drawer front. The three pictures are of my sister, last June, as a grade schooler, and as a senior in high school. The two shiny things are two pieces of Nambe that she had. I fell in love with them, and they were given to me after she passed. The drawer has a few of her last letter, and will eventually have all of her letters and a lot of pictures on a memory chip.

I was also "contracted" to make a bunch of planters to be sold at our local farmer's market, and that has been keeping me busy.

I will be setting up at the same market this Saturday to try and sell some of my wares. Hopefully that will work out.

Thanx for looking.

Bob,
That is a magnificent memorial to your sister. I am sure you had mixed feelings while creating this. You have done her memory proud!

Very good job. She was a lovely lady. I'm sure she will be missed by all who knew her .
