I thought I would serve She Who Must Be Obeyed (I have been reading Rumpole of the bailey) breakfast in bed for Mother's Day. But she explained to me that I was to stay out of her kitchen. So, I was thinking maybe I could convince her to serve me breakfast in bed for Father's Day.

NICE! Really like the legs. What do you have in mind for the piece of “firewood” setting on the jointer?

The folding legs are a nice touch. Let us know if it works out for Father's Day.

This is a piece of sixty-year branch wood from a mulberry tree. This and some other pieces were harvested and treated to prevent splitting while drying specifically for woodworking. The center is a tobacco color and looks like it has a very interesting, swirled grain. My first thought was to make something that looked like a bud vase. But doing the layout I think the curve would cause to much waste to make it look proportional. So, my current thought is to slab it and see what I find. Maby make a music box. I have an idea for using magnets instead of hinges for the lid. Any suggestions would be welcome.
