These are some of the last pics that I will publish. They are of lots of little things I have made. One series is a result of a combined effort with Lois, my wife. They are Cork Trivets made out of real wine corks and framed in various woods. She came up with the idea and I helped her to set up an assembly area in my work shop where she cuts and glues the cork halves to a base of 3/8" plywood. Then I make the frames out of various woods and varnish the frame and glue green felt to the back. She makes them for gifts to friends and for prizes at the raffles that are fundraisers for the various groups she belongs to. The other cork boards are much larger but done with the same assembly process. The other things are a Cell Phone station in the kitchen and Waste baskets and a Kleenex box cover, made out of California redwood. I have made a bunch of these last things for different areas in the house. They cover up the boxs and blend into the surroundings. Somebody gave us a needlepoint cover which gave me the idea to do some in wood.
