In between projects ealier this spring, I played around with making this table. For now, it will be kept close to home to enjoy.

will be incorporated into the forged ironwork of leaves, vines and flowers.

I am excited to be a part of this project and look forward to the whole process. A local family from this area of Kansas has been generous enough to commission the project and donate old farm implements from their family farm.

So, for now, here are photos of the process of starting the 6 panels required for the fence.
