We are on Facebook now. It is a bit scary for me. I rarely leave the island. We made a business page, or should I say Emily made a business page and it came with a personal page so now I am overly connected. The world seems to be moving a little faster now. Come and check it out: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001892572297#!/pages/Marty-Harris-Furniture/156349554409898

Emily has spent the day working on our martyharrisfurniture.com website. It is looking great! We now have the past projects dinning room server and curved seating area completed. We now also have a more uniform look to the pages. You can also follow the construction of the Klinck cat boat. Today I spent some time gluing up a couple benches and trying to get a few rocking chair backs out of a piece of lumber I ordered. It is always a gamble when you order lumber sight unseen no matter what they promise you and how adamant you are about what you need. Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!!

Here is a photo of the garden bench I have been working on. It has one coat of teak oil applied. It will get many more coats of teak oil.

Here is a bench that is waiting for a seat and arms. It should be finished this week. It will get multiple coats of teak oil since it will live outside. This is the second version. The first version was much more free form but abandoned when I realized the bench and myself would be torturing each other all the way to the end. Experience told me to stop while I was ahead. The present version is much nicer than the first!

I have began planking the cat boat. Here the garboard is fastened down and the broadstrake is steamed onto the boat. Now we are waiting on the rivets to arrive. I think I need to get some more clamps.
