summer?

it's summer in vermont.  kit's yellow rose typically blooms around june 15th, and it gets a little harder to focus on working once that happens.  the days are long, and the light can be incredible.  things are still cooking in the shop though, i'm just not taking the time to write much .. i'll post a few projects here now, and then it will be the 4th!  always a favorite holiday at our house.

 trevor's working on a 60" walnut table with 3 leaves.

and he also finished up a run of six ladderbacks this week  to go with another 36 x 72" table he made a couple weeks ago.

 

 we got a load of reclaimed chestnut last week from our man in west virginia, jef harris at vintage log and lumber.  we're making a table top for the metal base above that sam made a couple weeks ago ...

 the top will be similar to the 'basque style' table we made last winter

it will have a natural finish, like the door below

and a sliding barn door for a client who is building a new house

 went on a site visit with sam yesterday to scope out the last section of a railing project

and chris is moving along on the pop up tv cabinet

and there's always the odd small project or repair .. very cool cow weathervane here.  hope to finish that one up tomorrow .. and the weather is glorius!  a little hot today, but we had a shower that cooled things off and the light after that was amazing .. a few 'summer' shots below

the asparagus 'eating season' is officially over

it's foxglove season,

and the fish are happy

almost as happy as the tomatoes ..
