table making! (weekend 2)

weekend #2...and it's warm enough to take this show outside!
the high art of making corners: take a circular object. shove it in the corner of the table. trace the outer curvy side of it. chop that part off.
sanding the corners
hey! this crazy thing's starting to look like a table!
the continuing adventurers of girl jesus
the lady tessa
gord checkin' in
the orbital sander! it looks like a tiny martian. BUT A FRIENDLY ONE THAT HELPS YOU MAKE FURNITURE.
jane and gord ♥
at last, it's time to put on the first coat of finish! this is a water-based, eco-friendly clear matte stain. $20 at home despot.
painty painty paint
imagine that i wasn't painting a table, and i just inexplicably posed like this all the time?
purtttyyyy
while the first coat of finish dries...to the maple sugar bush! it started to rain so we hung out in the wee hut that houses the boiling machine.

this is the sap boiling. 
maple steam wafting in from the boiling machine

us doing us things. like sitting! sometimes we sit. other times we get up and walk around.
