This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

I took a few photos for the book today. The top photo is of the 2nd coat of milk paint on the 5 board bench. By partly sanding through the green to reveal the barn red beneath, the rough-sawn surface of the wood will be highlighted. On the rustic walnut hall table, I reshaped the ends of the top surface to help it to better fit the room setting, to reflect the curves sawn in the ends of the cross stretchers, and to conform to the slight angle in the front edge.
