Having no seats to carve up, I worked on several other small projects tonight. First, I
chipped off my dated carvings from the kitchen cupboard doors and repainted them. (Cheryl got bored of the old grape vine carvings) Then I cleaned up my room and emptied the dust collector. ( a very messy, dirty, dusty, job!) I burned the dust with some scrap wood. Then finally I carved up one of the salvaged
cupboard doors that have been in the
garage for several months now. I think it turned out pretty good, and I'll finish painting it tomorrow. I wanted to do some bluejays on an oak stump, like a painting I saw once. I thought I could come up with some better bluejay positions for the size I had to fit them into . so I downloaded a couple pictures off the web and free handed the oak leaves. It should look better when it is completely painted.
painting the panel tonight.
I'll have to apply poly tomorrow when I get a new brush. I'm hoping the paoly will bring a new dimension to it. Right now all I see are the flaws ( Cheryl says they are imaginary) So, I'm calling it done for now. 
I might put it up for sale on Etsy later in the week. Also I put the cupboard doors back on after a coat of black paint. I think they are now "more boring " than they were, but I don't have a "before" picture.
