    Default I Made Something Unrelated to Shaving!

    I'm having another surgery tomorrow morning. This time on my right shoulder (of course I'm right handed) so I'll be in a sling, unable to use my right flipper for six weeks. I went into the shop this afternoon and made this dish:


    It's made from a chunk of black cherry burl that I saved from the stove last winter. I love wood with character. I think I may give it to the surgeon who did all my abdominal operations. He did after all save my life. That should be worth a bit of firewood. Seeing how now I'm a piece of his work, he should have a piece of mine.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I hope you have a swift recovery Brad. All I'll add from my own experience is: I hope you don't drive a stick.

    Thanks all. The surgery went well.The doc found my bicep tendon was ruptured, labrum torn from the humorous and three tears in the rotator cuff. I never do anything halfway. Now I do it all with only my left paw for six weeks.

    I really dig that bowl, very cool.


    Oh man, I hope you have some physical therapy lined up after your immobilization in that sling. Last thing you want is a frozen shoulder...
