Very impressive!

The shelf holding your bottles also caught my eye. That thing is gorgeous. What type of wood and is there a story behind it?

Very nice and very creative too.

I have a friend who inherited a mass of old china crockery when her mother died. None of it valuable, and much of it chipped or cracked, but with a sentimental value that made it hard for her to simply throw it away. She smashed it all into pieces around 1-2 inches across and covered a wall on her garden patio with them to create a very impressive abstract mural, mosaic-fashion. What she used to bond them to the wall was a quick-drying cement-based product which is sold for patch-repairs on paths and such.

I've been building a skiff to get back out wreck hunting....yesterday I had a bunch of fiberglass work,....so as the glass work cured and set up I had time to make a quick little mosaic with some scrap wood pieces.....stress free time...art, beer, and the radio recharge my batteries !!
Talk about keeping busy Bart... I got tired just reading what you do all day. :laughing7:

Best of luck with your skiff on your wreck hunts,
Dave

Dug....I have an urban logging business that deals with exotic hardwoods. That shelf was once a growing and endangered "Willow bustic" tree. It grew in my backyard and was tortured by termites. It was miss shapen with giant voids from termite damage. The art of pouring colored epoxy in these voids is extremely popular right now so this fragile rotten log sold out quickly. I had to save a piece for my self.....it has gold metal flake in the epoxy pour and came out real nice. Ill take some better pics and post them. Hard to believe that the log that I thought would be worthless sold out first !!
