I continue to get notices of new subscribers, maybe more lately than a short while ago. This is very encouraging - I had worried that maybe blogs were falling by the wayside. Glad to see continued interest in this one. I have an Instagram page or feed or whatever-you-call them - but I've run out of steam with it. I'll keep it for a while at least, but won't give it much of my attention. I much prefer the blog - so thanks to all who've stuck with it and welcome to any newcomers.
For those newcomers, you wouldn't know it lately, but often there's birds on this blog - and finally today I got one I've been waiting 22 years for. This female evening grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus) appeared yesterday - first time ever in our yard. But I couldn't get a photo. It came back today & I managed to sneak a few shots. When I was first learning about birds in the 1970s these birds were common around here in winter, showing up in flocks of 20 or more. This is only the 2nd time I've seen one since the early 1980s. Now if only the male would show up - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Evening_Grosbeak/overview

Another thing that sometimes happens here is I pull things out of the loft and offer than at a reduced price. Some are there because they're not quite "right", others just didn't sell & went up there. Or I never offered them for sale. There's one of each from those categories now. From the "just didn't sell" category - two - a box and a chair.
If you'd like to purchase any of these, send me an email or leave a comment here. You can pay with a check or paypal - I'll tack $35 on for paypal - my email is peterfollansbee7@gmail.com

The inside features a lidded till. The sides and bottoms of tills are made from what I find around the shop. In this case, a black walnut till side.

The other from this category is a ladderback chair with Shaker tape seat.

This is one of my chairs patterned after Jennie Alexander's chair. Mine's a bit heavier in its parts (& overall) than JA's. But hers were the lightest of all.

From the "not quite right" category - another ladderback chair. This one is asymmetrical - the only damage is to my pride, the chair is sound. Just a little off-kilter. One rear post is angled out more than its neighbor. Or less, depending on how you look at it. Tight, strong - everything about it is OK except that. Sits fine. Will outlast us all. A hickory chair with white oak slats, hickory bark seat. (In the photo below you can see the post on our left angled out more than that on the right.)
Dimensions about the same at the chair above.

Ah! the "never-offered" category didn't get photographed. It's one of the brettstuhls/board chairs. I'll shoot it tomorrow or Friday - I'll post it here later in the week.
