I don’t have to travel far to find images of wood… one of my beloved’s hobbies is wood working. In fact, one of the most daunting “gotta have’s” in our search for a retirement home was an adequate woodshop.
Here is a small sampling of his handiwork…
A game box with leather fastenings…
A bench…
A couple of shelf units:
And of course, a workbench to build on!
Training up the next generation… they designed and built these dolls together:
Now, we just have to get my hubby retired so he can enjoy his new workshop space!

Lovely woodwork. It’s so great to have a hobby like this. My hubby also loves to work with wood and has done many projects over the years, the biggest of which was a Victorian style dining table, which, when we moved to a smaller home, was bought by an antique dealer for her own house. 🙂

That’s great! It’s a wonderful hobby, and I’m so proud of the things he makes. I think we will leave behind a couple of shelf units in this house that were built to beautifully fit their spaces. It is fun to watch these things come to life! 😉
