Hubby art







Paul has just finished his first table. It's a worktable for our son (I hope he will study hard and not hardly...) The table is made out of old deck boards which he bought at a company specialized in recycling. The boards come from an old farmer's house. As you can see they have marks from wood worms. (The worms are dead though!) Paul abraded, cut the boards in the right size and made a mortice so he could joint them together. (He was so happy and in a productive work flow...)

I sat at the table the other day and because Paul has treated it with beeswax it smells a kind of sweet and pleasant. By the way: The next table is already under construction and should become a dining table...

Hereafter some pictures when we bought the boards (I call it a man's Ikea...)





On this occasion my heartfelt thanks to you all for welcoming me back to the world of bloggers and for the good wishes for my son! You are all a huge encouragement to keep on posting!

It's a man's world



Since a few months hubby rents this studio with four other men interested in wood work.
They are making boats, instruments, restoring furniture etc.
It is located on the grounds of an old textile factory which is not running anymore.
Opposite the studio there is a cinema playing old movies with old projectors.
It is a location where many artists work and therefore the surrounding is very inspiring: 










Upstairs is the cinema "Lichtspiel".




Entering the studio...
































One associate is making his own kajak which means a lot of accurate work for one year...


Sometimes also women are allowed to work there - I sanded off some furniture and painted them:








On the other side of the workshop is a pottery...








Hereafter is the decoy duck hubby is carving presently. 
It is not finished yet but I think it looks lovely and alive already:





A sneak peek from the studio to the outside:












Well, that is where we are spending our staycation at the moment - 
tomorrow we are off to France - Paul wants to buy wood... 

Hope you are all well and doing things that bring joy to your hearts and souls!
