How can you say no?
I got another request from a customer that I have built 3 projects for
in the last year, the last being the walnut curio cabinets. This is like playing golf. You have a bad round and on the eighteenth, you chip in from 50 yards out. I share with you the type requests that put a smile on my face. Dear Leon, You must say yes! I am in need of a wooden box for an embroidered knot garden. I make the knot garden, you make the box. I have the cardboard box that I will give to Kim tomorrow for the dimensions, if you are willing. I would like a shadow box on top too. Plus the front side that could be opened. Really hoping you are interested. Sincerely, Joanne |

Why would one open one side of a planter box, and how would one get it closed again if some of the soil shifts? --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

A somewhat similar request, I had, to make the vertical planters for the master gardeners. Back then, I had no idea what a vertical planter was. It's these atypical projects, I find, that can be challenging, in their own right. Kinna like applying one idea/application for/to another media/genre. I'll look forward to the results. You'll have to show us Joanne's embroidery, also. Appreciating another's skills, in a different media, is enjoyable and appreciated, also, as with your wife's quilts. Sonny |

It's probably something like a piled up extension cord or rope. They tangle and create knots just like a garden grows weeds. :-) Puckdropper -- Make it to fit, don't make it fit. |
