JGR Cranes Done!!!!!!

[Jan]

After many delays, none of them my fault, the JGR sandhill cranes are done and ready to hang. Woods are aspen, oak, WRC, aromatic cedar, and madrone.

Ah come on Amica! you don't expect us to believe that do you?

Well. the wait was definitely worth it. Absolutely, beautiful work

Now forget out those piddlin' birdhouses- A large chimney stack with a load of sticks and twigs on top would make a great nest for these two to fly home to!

Congratulations!

Wow - those are beautiful! Nice workmanship!

you did a great job

[Jan]

Thanks for all the nice comments. The cranes have now found their home over the sofa rather than in a chimney as Jim suggested.

Super Wow! Your cranes came out nicely Jan. I don't know where you find the patience to fit all those pieces together. Superb work. What's next?

[Jan]

Thanks again for the nice comments. Next are some easy Christmas intarsia pieces and more of the Diana Thompson miniature birdhouses for a gift shop nearby. They originally asked for 30 birdhouses, changed the order to 50 and again to 70. The first 30 went out the door fairly quickly, I guess.

@ Rick: No patience involved. I'm stuck at home taking care of a 94 year old aunt and a husband recovering from a hand injury (table saw got him) I hide in the shop and play with my saw.

Hi Jan,

What a great job on th Sandhill Cranes. One of my favorite birds. Every late fall, they winter here in TN. We get to see (and hear) them every day. What a great sight.
