Here is a still of the latest masking inksperimentation. The one on the left uses the Diamine Nostalgia and Brrr! inks from the 2025 #Inkvent calendar. The one on the right uses Jacques Herbin Violet Impérial and the Diamine Bubbly.

My online Moby Dick book club's reading for the week starts with Chapter 47, "The Mat Maker", which opens with Queequeg and Ishmael working on sword mats. Since on the nerd Venn diagram I sit at the intersection of "in an online Moby Dick book club" *and* "a member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers"", I decided to tie an example of a sword mat (which is the flat part of this assembly; the ring at the end is technically a simple ringbolt hitch.)

Well, me and the family moved back to MN. A lot going on. Finished a summer job at the Science Museum of MN, now working on our house. Took another class to continue honing my skills - butternut clock on the right. Just playing with the basswood on the left.

Beautiful bag art by @Himmapaan perfect for hauling chisels & gouges.
