Wood Chopping Gifts

Thanksgiving: 'What did I want to do now?'

"What kind of fire, hon - oak, maple, or apple?"

"January 11. Still struggling with the novel. Chopped more firewood."

Sunset gets later and later every day, little buddy. So what? So, sunset happens later in the day. That means I an accomplish a lot more before smooching hour. I can run an extra ten miles. I can chop an extra cord of firewood. I can catch an extra school of fish. I can prepare for my date by mining an extra nugget of lip balm from my secret lip balm quarry. I can download 30 extra books I'll never read.

'Cold this morning, isn't it?'

'There's no inflammation of the wood pole. . . but he does appear to suffer from hardening of the chain saw.'

'Good news. I found where the termites have been living.'

Name one serious woodworker who doesn't use state of the art kit. Thomas Chippendale.

'MY husband made the coffee table out of an old door.'

'You certainly have a well equipped workbench.'

'You say the ARKS are NOT two by two?'

'You're using 14' nails on a 2' door? This is definitely a case where bigger is not better.'

"Of course I know how to use a chainsaw!"

"Lovely dovetail."

CAUTION: Creative genius at work

'Mum! Come and see the coffee-table I've made with my new tool-set!'

I'm starting to think our new hardwood floor is made of driftwood.

"This is a hell of a way to start a magazine."
