    Commission for a friend...

    He was looking for a V-day gift, so he came to me. Six hours later...




    He loved it.

    Yeah, I haven't been posting much. Just lurking about here and there. I haven't had many commissions lately, and that is where 90 percent of my woodwork comes from. I very sledom do work for myself, just to do it. It kinda stinks, frankly. I would love to do more ww just for me. I am in the middle of a balancing act with all of my commitments: Wife, job, business, dogs, and 4 special needs kids. I have been streached kinda thin.

    On a good note, my 3 adoptive kids are getting closer and closer to being officially ours. My wife and I will be doing the finally paperwork this week, so hopefully, in the next month or so everything will be finished.

    Thanks for thinkin' 'bout me.
