One of the main reasons for starting this chronicle, was watching a following my fiancee's blog. It's fun to follow all her exploits and experiments, and I thought that seeing as the bulk of the projects emerging from my workshop at the moment are either inspired by, or made specifically for, her this would be a good way to showcase them!
Here is one of the first completed project on behalf of my beloved. It was made as a Christmas gift for her mother. We had seen a similar table runner at an aunt's house when we went over for thanks giving, and because her mother liked it so much, Sam (my aforementioned beloved) thought it would make an excellent gift!
It seemed like a simple enough project. Step 1: Acquire an assortment of birch logs. Step 2: Cut the logs into a sufficient amount of 'biscuits' to cover a piece of felt sized to cover a table appropriately. Step 3: Glue 'biscuits' to felt. Step 4: Present as gift. Simple, right? While it is simple in principle, it is also fairly time consuming!
Never gave much thought to how time consuming cutting several hundred 'biscuits' to the same width on a mitre saw could be. Oh the things we do for love!
