A rainy day…

It took a rainy day to finally get the last coat of urethane on these patio tables that I constructed this winter.  My kitchen remodel took over once the weather got nice since I have to work on my kitchen cabinets outside.  One day I’ll have an amazing shop and won't have that problem…

I’ve strayed a bit from fiber and rabbits but not from upcycling!  I made these tables from cedar paneling taken down from my studio walls.  I have two walls of paneling yet to take down so there will be more projects in the works!

Have you any wool?

I don't know if the question was "what should I do with the cedar paneling that came down in my home remodel" or "how do I store my wool roving," but here's the answer: a very green cedar sheep made from recycled cardboard tubing and cedar that also serves to repel moths.

I was excited to be able put my new router to work on this project and one of my favorite power tools, my jigsaw.  A few coats of polyurethane only around the perimeter of the tubes enhanced the beauty of the cedar while retaining its moth deterrent properties inside the tubes.  Using ebony stain instead of paint was perfect to preserve the beauty of the grain while adding color.

I'm in need of just a bit more wool storage.  Any ideas?
