A gorgeous but inconvenient snow storm blanketed the high desert yesterday and continues to mount. Pictures from our back and front doors are attached. Sorry to have been snowbound and unable to fly east to visit family for Christmas. Fortunately, our flight to NYC was cancelled so we got a full refund.
The other pictures are of the coffee table I just finished making in my "Art of Fine Woodworking" class. My first reaction to seeing the completed work was "that's all for 13 weeks of work?" But I like the figure in the wood (ash) and I sure learned a lot about how to do things right and how to work with woods other than 2x4's. One of the pictures shows in the background one of a pair of southwestern style floor lamps and one of a trio of picture frames designed and built in prior creative bursts.
The "Las Posadas" experience described in yesterday's post was one of my favorite local events both because it was so Santa Fe and because it was almost all in Spanish.

very nice work! I love all three pieces. I especially like the floating aspect of the table top. The finish looks very well done as well. If you're bored......
BTW - I also noticed your fence in the snow pictures and I love it. Fits in very nicely.
oh yeah one more BTW... your kokopelli is the only one I have seen facing left. I have only seen them facing right. is there a "usual" direction?
I'm not sure about kokopelli direction. We have 2 that face left and one that faces right. I'll look at others more closely now!
