No big changes in the work I do. Any work I mail out gets sprayed with alcohol disinfectant.

New work done with new methods. Walnut and cherry blocks stairstepped around the body of the shell with maple rims. It has been in progress for about 6 weeks, which is 3 times longer than the usual time to make a complete large drum and stand. I still move a bit slowly. I will show progress pictures as the progress comes.

Chemo is done. Was I ever ready for that. Once the aftereffects recede I will be back to doing regular projects. New stuff!

I have started chemotherapy for lymphoma so my work will be slowed down for a while. The worst is already past with first treatment done. Results were excellent. I have work in progress that I will show as it gets completed. Here is a gourd done in 2015. Painted by my wife Carol.
