A richly carved chair for the head of a family from Ushguli in Upper Svaneti (Georgia). The chair has, however, been newly carved based on an old model and is on display in a private house museum.
Wood carving is one of the Svan people’s outstanding crafts.

Weird request: any ideas for a small window prop? Need some kind of bar about 7 inches (17.8 cm) long, maybe 1 inch cross-section. (Ideally length adjustable; but not vital.)

I'm installing a bedroom air conditioner—in a vinyl window. Don't trust screws in vinyl.

With AC in, the window I want to "lock" down on the AC has about 7 inches clear for a prop above. Most people use wood; any other ideas? Online has multi adjustable window security bars: all too long.

My sick day project was to finish the first rainbow midsummer crown of this year. I haven't got so much time for this hobby lately so it was good to get it done. More recent projects in the second photo.
