I wanted to explain the desk project here, I am going to back date this so that it shows up at the bottom of the project, but in reality it all started about 7 years ago.  I had it on the old website – a bit more information, but I will try to just remember.  I got the wood from a place just south of Waldo and it was just long planks.  They were rough planed and the bottom of course was just the tree, bark and all.

I got them home and did nothing with them for like 4 years.  I finally started on it and basically stripped all the bark off the bottom and I sanded it by hand on that side.  My brother and dad helped as usual on all my projects  Then we started on the top.  Sanding and sanding and sanding.  We broke the sander my dad had for like 40 years and went through so many belts.  Then came time to put the planks together.  It didn’t go as well as I had hoped.

I got Carlos over here last weekend to help get some additional motivation to get it done.  I also got the pieces to mount to the top so that I can secure it to the wall and ceiling.  It won’t be on the floor at all.  I am so happy it is coming along so well.  Here is the album.
