ebinmaine 69,707 #1 Posted August 18, 2024 Trina's friend has a birthday coming up. That friend likes sandpipers. Yesterday Trina got a piece of hemlock from our firewood and split it into several pieces. She chose the flattest one and sanded it on her power band sander. This morning Trina found a pic of a sandpiper and hand copied that in pencil on to the wood. Then she used her wood burner to cut in the lines. All the background work is hand drawn then burned. Some coats of poly and it'll be done. 5 6 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,729 #2 Posted August 18, 2024 (edited) Nice!! Here in South County RI there WAS a "nude Beach" called Moonstone Beach that was popular during the 70's and 80's.... until the Piping Plovers (a cousin of the Sandpiper) started to nest in the Dune grass above the high water mark. Piping Plovers are deemed "endangered" and access was the off limits , first only during mating & birthing season, & then all year long.... The locals divided into 2 polar opposite factions; one in favor and the other against the restrictions on access to Moonstone. You could tell them apart by the Bumper Stickers on their cars..... One said "Save the Piping Plovers", the other "I LIKE Piping Plovers - they taste like Chicken"...... Edited August 19, 2024 by ri702bill 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,991 #3 Posted August 19, 2024 Anyone can buy a gift or worse a gift card. However something from one’s hands is a real indication that someone cares. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
