This time of year I’m in the garden as much as I’m in the shop. This standardized Wisteria ( sinensis) has been putting on a great show each spring for us. And the fragrance ! Wow.

The is 19 inch /48cm piece I’m preparing for a commission piece. The beginning and the finished back of the piece .

With a first coat of Watco Butcher block oil and finish , the warmth of the maple is really coming together.
I will continue to add further coats and lightly sand until I have a nice solid sheen. This is a hard, food safe surface ( not oily) that has proven durable and quite beautiful.
