When May the cloth be with you announced last week’s theme, I was a bit stuck. Isn’t my whole blog show off time? So like Nikki I decided to show off for someone else.
My dad is 81. After he retired he took up woodturning as a hobby. He progressed from turning bowls to making major pieces of furniture. These are some of his completed projects, mostly made over the last ten to fifteen years.
And in addition to those are my bed, another coffee table, Clare’s bed, Clare’s bedside table/drawers, yet another coffee table, a dining table, a chair, a cheval mirror, another bedside table, a hall table … and there is possibly more. And that is just in MY house – there is yet more beautiful furniture at my parent’s house and at my brother’s house (and in the houses of various relatives around the country).
Yay Dad! What a talent. His current project – a cubby house for the girls for Christmas. Pretty good for an old guy, I reckon! Mum reads my blog, so it’s likely that she’ll drag Dad over to have a look at his work on the internet for the world to see. Thanks again to Angela for hosting “This is” and to Sharon for being the guest hostess with the mostess!
