Name That Tune






I entered a woodturning competition last week sponsored by our local Woodcraft store. I actually won best design.

I turned this wall hanging several years ago for Kathy to hang in her piano studio. I decided to enter this piece because it is so unusual. It is made from two segmented open-ended bowls. The woods are hard maple and black walnut. I then cut the bowls into fourths and reglued to get the wavy effect. I used a scroll saw to cut-out the musical notation.

Can you name the tune?

Home Improvement Progress





Thought I would post a few pictures of the construction progress. The footings took forever because I DUG them by hand. Check out that pile of soil. The deck is coming along nicely.
