I can't believe how fast time goes, and I've been putting off any blahg entries because of all the other things I have keep up with, and I thank everyone (anyone?) who has been checking for updates.

I completed construction on my bedroom project, but had to put up a carport last summer, so the furniture is still in the shop waiting for lacquer.  Maybe this summer.

I started a fiddle last fall, and construction is almost finished.  I told my friend Jim B. in California that I ruined two neck blanks trying to carve a bull head.  I'm happy to inform everyone (anyone?) that the third attempt was successful, and "Bullisimo" is mooving forward to completion.  See the photos below.

Meanwhile, I'm driving a school bus everyday and having a blast doing it.  Custodial work is keeping us busy as well, and our son's baseball activities are in full swing.  HA

​Thank you for looking in on things.!

    It's me again, John Dancer, and I thought it would be of interest to someone if I were to journal the process of building whatever it is I happen to be building at the time, so that one could gain...um...valuable insights of my philosophy and methods.  In other words, these posts will reveal some of the "how and why" of my work.  Again, I thank you for visiting, and wish you well in your quest for...um... knowledge.
