2 x a Lucky man

[78NHTFY]

My daughter and boyfriend Peter visit from NYC every few months.  Peter has noticed all the slabs I have stickered in various areas and asked if he could have a few to work with.  Well last weekend they were here again, this time as a future son-in-law 8) 8) 8) and for us to meet his parents.  (They are great folks!).  So while we were all getting acquainted, Peter is mostly in the shop working away, sanding, trimming, except for when the food was ready, of course. ;D.   So here is what he sent me today--not too shabby for a beginning woodworker.   

  In his words: Two slabs are ready for sealing, though I may do epoxy in the crack of the walnut. Did my first two bowties. Sanded both down to 800 grit. The walnut looks like glass. The pictures don't do justice. Maple bowtie for the walnut. Walnut bowtie (on the underneath) of the long oak slab. I hand scraped the bark off of the oak slab.  You get a great feel for the wood that way!.  Sounds like a pro to me!  So how 2 x lucky can a guy get: a future son-in-law AND a budding woodworker.  And to top it off, his Dad, who has Parkinson's, managed to run the Woodmizer to cut some white pine!  A great weekend and I still can't get the grin off my face.  Thanks for letting me share.  All the best, Rob.

A man can't be all bad,if he can make a slab look like that.
