Woah! Check ’em OUT! These humble pieces of timber started out as mere leftovers from dad’s scrap pile! Remember this? Don’t they look awesome now?!?!?!? Yes, they do! I was expecting just some straight cut stuff with rounded corners, and he’s gone and made stuff that, well, it looks really nice!

Man, now I have to get some decent rolling ball sculpture built to mount on them. Crap – dad’s making me look bad!

Dad is helping me out with some of the bases for a few rolling ball sculptures that I’ll be making. I really wasn’t expecting anything more than for him to cut them to a basic shape and then maybe run some sandpaper over the corners, but he’s already done more than that! He’s the king of woodworking, so naturally he can’t just give them a quick rubdown with 400 grit and call it done. No, these things will have routed edges! Nice, eh? He’s talking about staining them and everything now. They’re going to be pretty awesome!
