This is what the lunar eclipse looked like from the moon.
Well done to @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social Blue Ghost lander team, getting this image of the eclipse last night looking back at the Earth from Mare Crisium on the Moon. We (and people at #LPSC2025) were waving up at it, though we are unresolved in this image.

Vance's attack on democracy in Munich is a dangerous breach. Canada has never been more alone and more threatened than now.
But Trump is overseeing the divided States of America. We are more unified than ever.
We will defend democracy from gangsters.

It is now obvious (if it wasn’t before) Trump’s tariffs have little to do with fentanyl and the borders and a lot to do with America wanting to exert economic dominance over a country with a smaller economy. #bcpoli

Earlier this week, the Suncoast Woodcrafters Guild, of which I'm a member, presented the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society (SCCSS) with approximately 125 handcrafted wooden toys and gifts. These will be distributed by SCCSS to families in need of a little extra holiday cheer this year.

An interesting article on using a plasma reactor to create superblack wood. Now, I want one for my workshop. 😂

Meet Superblack Wood - Ambrook Research
A fluke lab discovery could upend our need to import endangered wood — a thriving underground market.

My wife give me an early Christmas present, a LaserPecker LP1 Pro laser engraver. It is controlled from an app on your smartphone. I plan to use it to engrave a signature onto the bottom of my turned bowls. Here the easy to build and use setup I came up with to allow me to do this.

Agreed...
This will be my one and only political post.
Been on Bluesky for some weeks now, and this is what I've learned (but we all knew this already, of course):
Remove the Right from anywhere and it instantly becomes a MUCH better place; people get along, ideas flourish, stronger sense of community, etc.

Good advice to follow...
Let’s all recite the woodworker’s pledge: “I (name) do solemnly swear NOT to put solid wood panels or boards inside frames without allowing for wood movement, so help me Norm.”

Here are some layered scroll saw Christmas ornaments I've been working on over the past few weeks. Each one is about 4" in diameter and made up of five layers.

Who knew you can do cross stitch on wood. Amazing...
What to do while sick, and your brain is trying to squeeze out your sinuses? Finish up a cross-stitch. Bulbasaur on walnut. Back isn't as pretty as I'd like (waste of floss), but it's glued now and no one will EVER see it again!

What a great idea combining two of my passions, spiders and scoll saw work.
Jumping spiders are my favorite. They’re cute & floofy. They’re incredibly observant. Their athletic abilities are astounding. They dance like I never could.
Cut on #scrollsaw from maple, walnut, mesquite, ipe, katalox, ebony, holly, cherry, & rubber tree.

Where my #geeks at? I was inspired by a cross stitch I saw on IG, and immediately decided I needed my own favorite “fantasy” crossroad post. All pieces hand cut on #scrollsaw from cheap fence cedar. “Aspen” was for my wife 😂. Could have had 100 more, but… space.
