Maple Night Stand with Cherry Base

This is what happens when you decide to use up some of the wood you've got!  

Still using up that Maple tree that fell down in 2017.









Started by Drilling 3 holes in my cherry round.  This turned out to be almost impossible!  The Cherry round had now been dried for 5 years and was like drilling into cement!  Finally got  the holes drilled.  Then took 3 curved sticks and connected them.  It looked like a stool if the cherry piece was on top.  That was not my intention, as I wanted to be able to see the Cherry piece and had designed it for the Cherry to be on the floor, so I added more sticks.  


All done, with the beautiful Live edge piece of Maple for the top.

Letter "B" UFO Challenge - 2 Paddle Quilts

Image
I joined " Rivers Edge Antiques and Quilt Loft " UFO (Unfinished Objects Challenge" -  My Letter "B" commitment was to "Design and Assemble a new quilt top for the Paddle Room (King or 2 twin XL)"   My original quilt for the room was a queen size (my "wave" quilt" but then we decided to do 2 Twin XL beds instead. Since we use the room more often as separated beds I've decided to make 2 twin XL quilt tops using some of the "Paddle" themed fabric I've collected over the years. When I started I thought about trying to mimic the "Paddle" painting I did for the room -  The challenge started on the 12th of January and I finished the two quilt tops on the 31st of January - whew!
