Swing into spring.

I just finished a new canopy cover for my friend, Irene’s, garden swing.  I popped over this morning and we put it on.  Looks great!

On campus.

I’m always looking for opportunities to visit our local museums. I heard about a new exhibit at the Harry Ransom Center on design and the Arts & Craft movement. So we took a trip to the University of Texas campus to see it today.

It’s a small museum but I enjoyed browsing the show.

We walked around campus a bit and grabbed lunch afterward.

He built that.

The “after” picture.

“Retired” is a state of mind.  Monte has been working every day out in the shop making sawdust and pretty furniture.  This is his latest project, one of a pair of LP cabinets.  Made out of beautiful walnut with a gorgeous custom finish.  He designed and built them.  Quite the craftsman!

The drawers have heavy duty full bottom-mounted slides. And he designed an angled, adjustable back-stop for each drawer.

Fancy dancy drawers.

Below is the “before” picture 🙂

I wonder what’s next?!
