Reluctantly heading to bed after day one with my . It was a good day! I learned that I really like the Walnut hardwoods and didn’t get nearly enough. .
Cutting out words and names are super easy and people dig ‘em, so I know I’ll be doing a lot of that. Did one for my daughter and she loved it so much that she had me make two more for her friends of their names to take to school tomorrow.
Then I messed around with a proof-of-concept with some draft board to see how sandwiching a word between two outlines of the word would look - and I really dig it, so I’m going to do it again with other materials.
The last thing I played around with was a gift for my wife’s friend at school. She loves daschunds, so I made this out of maple and walnut. Immediately realized that 1) The insides of letters fall out and 2) They tend to be tiny pieces. So I decided for now that the resulting “font” is artsy and intentional…
I know what you mean…like when a total stranger goes nuts over something about which you feel the same way…it’s a sort of validation. It’s joyful to hear about other’s happiness.

I guess I just love seeing people making beautiful art.
