    Bucket list builds.....

    I was thinking today of a few projects that I want to accomplish sometime in my life. Just wondering if you all had your own bucket lists?

    Here is three of mine-
    -Maloof Style Rocker
    -Guitar
    -Surfboard
    -......

    -Kerry

    1. Greene and Greene Gamble House dining room table (including leaves and custom cabinet to store the leaves). The most amazing piece of furniture I've ever seen.

    2. Greene and Green light fixture over the dining room table.

    Something my child will cherish and pass down with fond memories and others will admire. I just haven't figured out what that is yet.

    Ditto on the house. Finally decided on a house plan with the LOML and now just trying to sell mine so I can build.

    2nd would be a baseball bat that doesn't crack after about 10 hits.
    I'm a Joe of all trades. It's a first, it'll catch on.

    I have always wanted to build a set of snowshoes. Cool bends, and rawhide lacing.

    Russ, my Dad made some. Ticked mom off real good cause he soaked the wood in the only tub at the house for a few days. Made his own rawhide out of a deer skin he shot. Tanned it, stretched it, cut it, and all the jazz. Real cool set of shoes, don't know how well they worked, I was 10 at the time.

    I have only one thing on my bucket list, I want to build something that I can not convince anyone that knows me that I actually built it.
