Maple Sections

Sad but necessary,

The base of the Norway Maple tree in my back yard was suffering from irreversible rot damage. Due to the unsafe conditions, we were forced to cut it down. However, a small section will live on. When stacked these 6 sections create a small pieces of the Norway Maple. I hope to make a few sets to share with friends and allow the tree to grow beyond my yard.

The next time your in Austin

You have to visit the Corner Shoppe. I went to Austin with one goal… To go home with a set of antlers. As soon as I arrived I found a set at a local thrift store but decided to hold off and do some more searching. I found my self in a mens wear shop on South Congress called STAG and there I saw it… A stuffed fox on the counter.

I asked… where can one get a fine animal like this? They shared a secret! “The Corner Shoppe, they buy and sell taxidermy from museums and their collection is on display for purchase in a dirt lot under tents and in shipping containers”. They weren’t kidding, this place is a gold mine. I left with a set of deer antlers and a Cow hide rug but I wanted everything! Next time your in Austin you have visit. Photos can’t capture the glory of this place.

Licorice Root Tea

I was cleaning the shelves at home and found a jar of Licorice Root Tea. The jar was given to me by a friend at Indiana University. It has an unexplainable sweetness, surly worth a try. The jar was a little gritty so I decided to make a little baggy and information sheet before sharing it with IDEO.

Learning The Mill

I’d been looking for a reason to use the mill at work and finally found one: My CB550 triple tree. I decided on a set of clip on handle bars so I no longer needed the stock bar mounts. Rather then buying a new triple tree for $300+ I figured Id try and mill the original down. I embrace the holes from the stock clamps and milled those strange bumps off the front. Looks pretty good.

I could tell you how I made this but then it might not be as creative.
