A gloat and an oops
Got a call last night. A gentleman called and said he saw my picture in
the paper with my display of bowls made from different woods at the local library. He said he had just cut a wild cherry tree and would I be interested in the wood. Aw, shucks. Sure I would take it off his hands so he wouldn't have to pile it up and burn it. This morning I picked it up. Now I have 16 bowl blanks sliced up, labeled and sealed. The oops? While painting the sealer on, I sat my cup on an upended blank. It tilted over and spilled, right on my shoe! Now I have a sealed shoe. If it turns out well, I may seal the other one. -- Gerald Ross Cochran, GA An evil mind is a constant solace. |

Please be sure to tell us how well the sealer worked on your shoe(s). My bet
is that they will stay as shiny (or dull) as they are today for a long time. -- Charley "Gerald Ross" wrote in message om... Got a call last night.
