Haven't been on the bike much lately...

Been trying to finish up a present I'm making for my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary next month... got the stained glass done today and test fit the pieces... looking good so far. Size is about 1.5 ft. wide by 2.5 feet tall. All natural wood colors... no stains. The curly maple has a nice figure in it that changes appearance as you walk in front of it.

Hand-polishing your own wood hardly counts as "wood-working"...

Groo, I was wondering what happened to you.

You do beautiful work. I'm sure the photos don't do it justice!

Congratulations to your parents on 50 years together.

Groo, that is a REMARKABLE piece of work. Holy cow!

The fish tails and undersides - what kind of wood?
