Absolutely lovely!

And the sled chair looks feasible, if a little thin; I had imagined it more sturdy, but then it would be cumbersome to maneuvour (sp?).

Thank you. I will post a photo of the absolutely finished chair in a few days.

The sled is lightweight ... but at my age that's a plus ... especially on a flat surface like the lake where tippiness is not a real concern.

It is beautiful!

The chair is gorgeous!!! You've done a spectacular job (as always)!

There will eventually be a line of laundry, some mergansers, loons and other Pike Lake things ... but I am going slowly now and seeing how I like each thing I add before adding more ... and the whole thing has to be polyurethaned. I was going to do flowers because Clare loved her garden better than almost anything, but then I received the perfect flowered cushion for looking after Oberon, and its flowers are nicer than anything I could manage.

This chair looks more grown up and suited to a larger range of tastes and room designs. Your other works are more whimsical and likely better sited to spaces that people have deemed as "fun" or recreational.

Great job.

Thanks, Rob. I think you are right. But yesterday I added a clothesline ... so there is a at least a touch of whimsy in this one too.
