Things to come!

Some of the things you will be seeing more of in future posts. This is a bird feeder made from a reclaimed lamp, mason jar and a old plate. I'll be showing you step by step how to turn things you find at yard sales, thrift stores and even your own home into treasures.

This is an old rolling pin I found at a yard sale for a dollar. I carved a "Wood Spirit" and now it is a treasure in someone's home. I don't know whose home because it was stolen from our booth (A19)at Front Porch of the South in Columbus Ga. 
Question: If you steal a Wood Spirit will it bring you good luck or bad luck?
 
This is a what I call a Potters Bench. Made from reclaimed 2x4 lumber destined for the landfill. This simple bench would be great sitting next to your grill on the deck or as a small work bench.
This is a Walking Stick I made for a friend. Making walking sticks can be very satisfiying and as simple or fancy as you like. Don't be intimidated by the Wood Spirit! I will be showing you how to carve one. It really isn't that difficult and your friends will be blown away by how "talented" you are!
Thats it for today! I just wanted to let you get a look at some of the things I love to do.
