<LUMBER IS BEAUTIFUL.>

Isn't it though? You don't have to tell me. I go into my favourite woodworking supply store and suddenly notice a carboard box... a kind of a pizza box...filled with thin bits of wood...a kind of mixed assortment of odds and ends of marquetry-type wood marked "On Sale"... just sort of sitting there waiting for me..

Me: "Aaaaaaaahhh... I need that".

Mr. Croc: (raising one eyebrow at me) "What for?"

Me: (fidgeting a little under his steady gaze) "I dunno... I'll think of something".

But now he's suspicious. I know... He's a smart dude... He knows that I'll bring that pizza-box full of wood bits home and then I'll be kind of nervous about using the pieces to make something in case it doesn't turn out... in case I waste a really nice piece of wood. Guess he knows me pretty well by now.

Big wood, little wood... I love it. BTW, that's what I like about so much about my new canoe...It's all trimmed in ash and cherrywood. The carrying yoke is made of cherrywood... the yoke is beautiful to look and and touch...**sigh**

<Oh boy. I'm going to be embarrassed, after I post this. I will have to hide outside, away from my computer. >

Uh-oh... now who do you think should go away and hide...?
