Not always paying attention to what is going on. Unless wood is involved.

So today I started on the work for my new walnut desk.
I have decided to try and document as much of the step by step process here. This thread header will be the top of the chain from which various sub threads will start. I will keep it pinned to my profile.

Good morning fellow wood people (especially of a US persuasion). My friend, who recently moved back from VA, brought back this rocker with him. The design, from S Bent & Bros, is exquisite. I particularly like the armrests.
Does anyone know anything about this manufacturer & style?

That new Jerome K. Jerome book is shit.
The U.S. military has killed three men and destroyed another boat it suspected of running drugs in the Caribbean Sea, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Sunday. He did not provide evidence for his assertion that the boat was engaged in drug-running activity.
U.S. Kills 3 on Boat Suspected of Smuggling Drugs for Colombian Rebels
It was the seventh known strike in President Trump’s military campaign of attacking, rather than arresting, those suspected of running drugs in the Caribbean.

Balade matinale dans Moscou. Un fonctionnaire fume devant le ministère des Affaires étrangères, il tient un parapluie « Gagaouzia » en référence à la région moldave utilisée par Moscou pour déstabiliser la Moldavie. Devant l’entrée principale, l’ambassadeur d’Iran a garé sa voiture.

A Cindy Drozda style finial box. African Blackwood with inlaid Tagua nut. 3" x 1.5"
Working with tagua nuts can be a pain since they have random cracks in the middle. I had to make the foot twice since the first one got too small once I got rid of the cracks.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

I’ve oiled up the console using Rubio (‘pure’) oil after some sanding, watering and mineral spirits cleaning (and more sanding). Thanks to @yaug.bsky.social for the application advice. The result is lovely. Very happy with the look and feel.
