Chopping Block
In my two and a half days off between the internship and LEAD Training Camp, I headed back to Indiana to visit my family. I continued helping with the barn project - we finished the stairs to the second floor (which had been pending the completion of the concrete). I will hopefully get an updated picture this weekend, since the siding was finished last fall.
Also, I worked on a hardwood chopping block, made with my bare hands...and a power saw and rotary sander. :) It has been treated with olive oil, to provide some water-resistance and to bring out the color of the wood. Notice the dark circular saw marks from the original log cutting. I used a picture with a AA battery to give a sense of size. Dimensions are 16.5 x 9.5 x 2.25 in.
A close-up and higher res picture is here.

I was hoping that the battery was the first victim of the chopping block. . .oh well. Still would be fun to do, outside, with the proper PPE. I triple dog dare ya!
