I found a really crappy piece of wood in the shop.  I think it was part of the “Clearwater wood” that my daughter found on a walk, but I can’t remember for sure.  What I do know is that this wood was riddled with bug damage, was incredibly dry, and really didn’t turn into anything that looked other than “brown and round”.  boring…

After seeing YouTube videos and another guy in the club experiment with the “cosmic cloud” coloring technique, I decided to give it a try.  This turned out pretty good, considering how it started.  Haven’t decided it I’ll set this one out and wait for one of the kids to claim it, or take it to work and give it to someone there who’s been (politely) pestering me to make her something.
