From the Sensei...

As Arthur is the apprentice, the young Padawan so but of course Kevin is the Master, the Sensei who taught him.

It’s only fitting the teacher gets also gets his kudos here.

Both the 2-tiered table and bowls displayed upon it are Kevin’s work.

The bowls, chalices and plates are made from the cedar logs left to us.   The table is also made from cedar.

Kevin made the comment that it was good Arthur had to go back to school after Thanks-giving break so he could have his lathe back.  I had to make the comment back that Christmas break will soon be upon us.

Arthur, Cedar & Lathe 11-2013

Woodworking becomes him; at least as far as lathe work goes. 

Once the piece is taken off the lathe, it is done, with the exception of a few sanding swipes here and there. 

Maybe that is the appeal, however I must take in to consideration the time and patience involved.  At 13, Arthur has begun making a statement in the area of his creativity.

He likes the finished product.  So do I.

We like them so much we’ve shared them with Olive Forge who have them on display and for sale. All proceeds go to Arthur (& and 1/2 to is savings account).

Arthur has himself listed at VP of labor at Going Green on his facebook page.  He is very much a part of our re-purposing. 

These are his creations from a cedar log left to us that had no home.
