Yes that is my maker's mark, I put it on my personal projects (often in places where it is never seen, only the owner knows it's there). Those particular flowers were for a project I abandoned more than 40 years ago. I still had them. Originally I was going to make the box out of Cherry but I saw that board and it literally said "use me". I don't particularly like carving white oak so a different technique was required; so rather than carve the mark in I laid the flowers on. They are made from Western Maple and the centers are Walnut. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mareblu Posted March 19 #8130 Share Posted March 19 You’re so talented, Lyle. Your mother-in-law would feel honoured, I’m sure, with such a devoted gesture. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously are a talented artisan - didn't realise at first that you had made the box. It truly is gorgeous and made with love. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted March 24 Author #8136 Share Posted March 24 So I am watching the race now. Being part of the "anyone but Max" group I was pleased to see the disappointing result for him. Lynn was simply ecstatic, her dislike for Max knows no boundaries. Of course being a Lewis fan I was disappointed for his result. It's looking more and more that the move to Ferrari will give him a car he can compete in. That being said it will put pressure on Lewis to perform, he won't be able to blame the car. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted March 25 #8137 Share Posted March 25 Surgery tomorrow on my achilles. After seeing the surgeon, I will now be out of action for the next 3-4 months. This is very depressing as we were expecting a 8 -10 weeks recovery. We have just cancelled our trip to Europe in June and will be postponing our Cape York trip in July to next year.

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow, Mic. I know I can say everyone will be thinking of you. Let us know how you're faring, when you can. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Mic, hope all goes well. Pity you will miss your European trip, at least you should be fit and healthy by the time your Cape York trip comes around next year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted March 25 Author #8143 Share Posted March 25 That must be very disappointing @MicCanberra. An Achilles injury is always troublesome but this lasting months must be so frustrating. Best wishes from both of us for a good result and speedy recovery. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will give you some exercise without putting weight on your leg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get well soon Mic. I can relate. I'm barely over surgery from Mid-December and I have another one scheduled for May10th. Just want to get them over with. Wishing you a speedy recovery BUT a healthy one and that takes a bit of time. Want you back on-track for that next cruise and the one after that and the one after that...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
