Katy made this green alabaster lamp with a black walnut base. She sliced the alabaster very thin, 1/8-1/16 of an inch thick. The lamp uses a compact fluorescent bulb for efficiency.

walnut

We cut another large black walnut tree yesterday. It was planted by the homeowners grandfather and died this winter. She is going to use some of the wood we mill to make two clocks. It was a bit of a rough day. Scott hit his head on the forks of the forklift and it seemed like it was the hottest day we have had yet. The humidity was very high and the mosquitoes made it all interesting. It was nice to have the forklift in town and to be able to get it all on the trailer!
