Popular Post Charlie E Posted October 24 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 24 After cutting this I sat on my front porch and got still and quiet. My favorite squirrel got within a few feet from me. I can tell him apart because he's more brown than gray and has a skinnier tail. Lots of good things happen when we take the time to be still. meflick, Fish, joel brinker and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry walters Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 That is really nice Charlie. When I go for a walk in the mornings I do not have my phone in my ear, I enjoy the sounds of the birds, squirrels, and yes even the sound of the leaves rustling in the breeze.

Where I live, there is the constant roar of traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live close to traffic too, I've just learned to ignore it. Unless you go into the wilderness you are not going to get away from traffic. I see you retired from the Air Force.

Hawk Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 Very nice job, I like the presentation and the contrast between the piece and the backer board! Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I didn’t invent this process but in a lot of cases, like this one, the backer doesn’t stain as dark as I’d like. So I take a can of flat black spray paint and sort of fog it from a couple of feet away, then lightly wipe it with 0000 steel wool and repeat till I like the contrast. Then I spray it with a satin clear enamel. Works for me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would have stayed in the Air Force for 30 years, but I was denied reenlistment in one of the big downsizings they did in the early 1990s.
