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.

Tardis Smoke House Saga - the begining......
First off - Do you think they cold get any dirtier?
You know Dr. Who would never be seen under dressed and sweaty, but I
bet he never had the notion to smoke meat, in fact, I’m not sure
I’ve ever seen Dr. Who eat…..wonder if he ever visits the Food
Network….
Back to Cherylwood now…
Starting with a love of pastrami, bacon and sausage...and of course that DIY notion deeply inset into our brains.......and hearts.....and the very fact that Kevin recently traded for a whole hog..........let's experiment with our own smoked meat ideas!
So appeared our Tardis Smoke House! It
sits near the garden shed Kevin built and front of the carport he
built...
As you can imagine, once again Kevin started with an idea (no blueprints) and began building with the fall off wood from the
sawmill. Our Tardis stands at least 9 1/2 feet tall, not including
the grey bricks.
Get your own Tardis and make your own out of this
world meat, or maybe for a garden shed, pretty out house….4 flat
walls, 1 tin roof for $300.00, (assembly, delivery and blocks not
included) contact us for
availability……
