My eighteenth century wood shop has been lying fallow for the past three months due to my recovering from a major surgical procedure. I ventured up there today and was over whelmed by the wonderful smell that only raw wood can provide. It was good just be there with the half finished Windsor chair that I was trying to finish before my long time assistant's retirement at the end of July. I guess it will have to be a late gift.
I opened the closet door where I keep my stains, varnishes and linseed oils, and was greeted by another welcome aroma. Further investigation around the shop prompted me to open a jar that I had left on the bench right before going to the hospital. Not so good.......Hide glue sitting for three months!
It's good to be up and running again. We often overlook life's little pleasures. Bob
