The Base Takes Shape
Well, I decided on a circular base as I mentioned in the last post…so, this morning I did the routering and spent a bit of time carving an oval “braided” rug and a few hardwood slats into the top of the base. I’m just in the process of using a wood burning tool to show the braiding in the rug cord. I think that once it’s finished and painted it’s going to look pretty good.
In non-carving news, Rosie and I got a bit of snow-frisbee in today. We also learned a new trick…snow angels…kinda like a normal “roll-over” trick but done in the snow!

Thanks Lynne. The rug is going to be multi-coloured with a bit of wear. My grandma used to make these braided rugs whenever she visited when I was growing up. I remember her being like a machine making these. Mark.

Cheryl, that little Rosie is a handful I’ll tell you. A fun little dog. Unfortunately she’s has a lot more energy and smarts than me…so, I think I’m kinda holding her back! Mark.
