Kayaking on Lake Maurepas

At sunrise this morning, I went kayaking on Lake Maurepas. Lake Maurepas is sort of halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. I took a bunch of bird photos. There are birds in every photo below, but some aren't that obvious at first glance. I couldn't get very close without scaring them away.

A Box For Mariana

Mariana needed a container at her desk to hold all her markers and such. So, I made one. This is a simple pine box that I threw together in very little time. I carved some flowers and intertwined circles on the lid. 

Cherry Boxes

These are my latest boxes. Above, a carved box in the style found in 17th century New England. Below, nesting Shaker oval boxes. All of these boxes are made of cherry.
