Henry Sears in Redwood. Tribute to Lincoln?
As I have been doing lately experimenting with different recycled materials, this Redwood is from a coworkers deck that he tore down.
I don't know if this is more of a tribute to Abe Lincoln or to my frugality. The Redwood is very soft and I was thinking of using bigger washers to spread the load. If I keep this hobby up I need to find a better source for hardware. I have been just going to the local hobby or hardware store where washers are around 25 cents. I like to support the local shops but it is starting to add up. I have long heard the complaint that it would be cheaper to drill out a coin than to buy a washer and thought I would give it a try.
One thing that I didn't think of when I started is that Lincoln is facing just to the right. On the back side that I don't show in these pictures one washer is "upside down".:D It just fit better!
The origional idea worked fine, I have only 4 cents in these washers.
