The wood is Sapele, a South American hardwood that resembles mahogany and machines very easily. The drawers are Poplar with Sapele fronts. Project finished with Minwax natural oil and waxed. Drawers lined with felt. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/ln-album15 9e5b26eea915afe15b603c33f53f7a0b Sun, 06 Oct 2019 07:40:28 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=ln-album15 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album15/germany11.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album15/germany11.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album15/germany11.thumb.jpg 150 100 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/Sean-and-Pauls-30th-Birthday f9a1bb0ded15857f7a744b8b6c73de1e Sun, 14 Oct 2018 17:20:51 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Sean-and-Pauls-30th-Birthday http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Sean-and-Pauls-30th-Birthday/CIMG0415.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Sean-and-Pauls-30th-Birthday/CIMG0415.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Sean-and-Pauls-30th-Birthday/CIMG0415.thumb.jpg 107 144 We celebrated Sean and Paul's 30th birthday in Erlanger, KY on 2-3 Dec. Emily flew Sean in as a surprise since Paul had flown out to Seattle last year to surprise Sean. Paul and Emily were eating a "birthday dinner" at their favorite restaurant on the river in Covington when suddenly about 10 people came in (family and friends) to surprise Paul. The following night, there was a surprise party at Diana and Phil's house. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/ln-album13 fdcd4ef59571c1990936cb6c38520d13 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 09:34:37 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=ln-album13 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album13/sofa_table_length.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album13/sofa_table_length.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album13/sofa_table_length.thumb.jpg 150 113 Collection of photos of several different projects built over the past several years.

For those of you who have never been here, our back yard slopes from right to left at about 30 degrees so the top right is about 20 feet higher than the bottom left. We had three terraces built and used decorative concrete blocks for the walls. Ten yards of fill dirt and 25 of hardwood mulch later, we were ready to plant. There are now about 50-60 new plants (hostas, hydrangeas, coral bells and others) as well as untold numbers of small mondo grass sprigs in the back with more to come. The side yard now has a walk from the family room door to the sidewalk to accomodate Narni's Mom's walks to her car. We also had an irregular shaped patio poured at the same time so she has a place to sit in the shade in the morning and evening if it isn't too hot. More work to be done including a couple benches (yet to be built) and more plants after some rest. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/ln-album10 8dd55309dc27e817af5415fbafbbe7b8 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 23:01:31 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=ln-album10 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album10/side_drawer_open.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album10/side_drawer_open.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album10/side_drawer_open.thumb.jpg 113 144 From plans from Fine Woodworking Magazine. My version of Thomas Jefferson's lap desk. Original made from mahogany is in the Smithsonian Museum.

One of the side effects of that tornado (an F2) was very high winds along its path. Those winds blew over a 110 foot tall oak tree in our back yard. Fortunately for our neighbors, their 100 foot tall oak caught it. Had that second tree not been there, our tree would have landed on and crushed their just replaced roof. We contacted a tree removal service that night. They came on Monday to check it and give us an estimate. You don't want to know how much it cost but the tree removal company owner said it was the most dangerous one he had ever attempted to take down is his 12 years of doing that work. The crew arrived Tuesday morning at 8:00am and didn't leave until 8:00pm that night. While we are still smarting from the expense (USAA would not cover it unless it hit a structure!!), I can appreciate the dangerous part of the job much more after watching them work. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/FlorenceItaly 5f5720cc632c7a6fb643804536c6ccd8 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 10:09:58 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=FlorenceItaly http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/FlorenceItaly/arno_shell.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/FlorenceItaly/arno_shell.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/FlorenceItaly/arno_shell.thumb.jpg 89 144 Florence, Italy in the Province of Tuscany.

They were published in a 1975 issue of Women's Day magazine. The original was made from pine before we knew Narni was carrying twins. As it turned out, we didn't need to as they both fit into the one cradle. The amazing thing is that Narni still had the original plans!!!! This one is made from red oak, stained with Minwax Golden Oak and then sealed with ten coats of Minwax Tung Oil Finish and several coats of paste wax. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/ln-album14 28b8526deb4a541c6267f0ea4a35b85e Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:53:53 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=ln-album14 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album14/P1080045.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album14/P1080045.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album14/P1080045.thumb.jpg 107 144 Have taken up making Shaker oval boxes as they are both beautiful and can, for the most part, be done in the house rather then the garage which is cold in the winter. These are two sets made over two weekends. The lighter ones are from hickory and the darker from cherry. The Shakers traditionally made them from cherry and maple and, occasionally, pine. The hickory ones were an attempt to use some extra wood I had in the garage. I now know why the Shakers stuck to cherry, maple and pine - hickory splits and is very brittle when it dries. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/ln-album09 93201ef6868b2512f186556eb524c5fa Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:52:51 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=ln-album09 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album09/frontopen.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album09/frontopen.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album09/frontopen.thumb.jpg 108 144 Copied from one previously made 6 years ago in larger size.

I made one from walnut several years ago. This one is made from Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba). Jatoba is a very hard wood with an unusual range of color and very tight grain. It is tough to work but gives a very smooth finish. This clock is finished with natural Minwax Oil Finish and sealed with two coats of Minwax rub-on poly sealer. Three coats of Briwax and it went up on the wall. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/ln-album04 9850f71b3f400db66deb59a8aa0dc148 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:51:14 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=ln-album04 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album04/boxcars1.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album04/boxcars1.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album04/boxcars1.thumb.jpg 150 109 Some very high contrast photographs taken in Rantoul, Illinois in 1966.

It is about half way between Vienna and Salzbug, Austria. We stopped and spent the night there on a trip from Stuttgart to Vienna in 1972 after crossinig the Danube on a river-powered ferry. The Abbey is a very baroque building with rooms full of glided furniture and tapestries on every wall. Nice place to stop on a driving tour through Austria. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/ln-album01 a7afe5b44ea42f5c84fd9a9c43ed7df6 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:50:24 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=ln-album01 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album01/femalepainter.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album01/femalepainter.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/ln-album01/femalepainter.thumb.jpg 150 103 A mixed group of photographs taken between 1970-1974 and 1978-1981 while we lived in Europe http://paulandemily.com/gallery/Paris70-74 8a90608cb2f5bc0deaf742907205dbc5 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:34:51 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Paris70-74 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Paris70-74/Eifel_Tower_Dusk_copy.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Paris70-74/Eifel_Tower_Dusk_copy.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Paris70-74/Eifel_Tower_Dusk_copy.thumb.jpg 150 87 Narni and I took many trips to Paris during our two assignments and seven years in Germany.

It is only reachable by land during low tide. The causeway connecting it to mainland France is completely covered by the North Sea at high tide. We visited this section of France in 1973 and camped not far from the cathedral. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/Madrid-1972 598c45d26e4ab75f04dd8f6d0aabc766 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:33:31 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Madrid-1972 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Madrid-1972/madrid_skyline.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Madrid-1972/madrid_skyline.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Madrid-1972/madrid_skyline.thumb.jpg 98 144 Narni took these photos during a train trip through France and Spain in 1972. We were living in Stuttgart, Germany. Lary had returned to the US for a three month school and Narni traveled with friends from Patch Barracks. This was Spain when Franco was still alive and in power - significantly different than when we were stationed in Madrid in 1987-1989. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/LuccaItaly 1cf7dbebb2e7f17bd78e245edbc60125 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:33:20 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=LuccaItaly http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/LuccaItaly/cathedral_001.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/LuccaItaly/cathedral_001.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/LuccaItaly/cathedral_001.thumb.jpg 150 117 Lucca is a medieval walled town in the province of Tuscany in west-central Italy.

The ship carried only 128 passengers and was a completely unique experience. There were naturalists on board to describe the sites and what we would be seeing. The ship was small enough that it could go right up to the shoreline to allow us to see wildlife or to gather ice cold water from a glacial waterfall. It was a chilly, but beautiful experience that we would do again in a heartbeat. http://paulandemily.com/gallery/Christmas-2005 f3a9609486a8c91b7d5e058f908bde1c Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:30:15 +0000 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Christmas-2005 http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Christmas-2005/wierd_gift_2005.thumb.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Christmas-2005/wierd_gift_2005.sized.jpg http://paulandemily.com/gallery/albums/Christmas-2005/wierd_gift_2005.thumb.jpg 150 105
