Interesting projects, Roy. I'm looking forward to seeing them develop. I'm about ready to dive into some intarsia on a box or three.

As to Winter projects, at least we don't have to shut down completely like some of the folks up north!

SHUT down- No way- just have to work faster so you stay warmer and have more scraps to burn.

I used to save my small offcuts of cherry to use in my smoker for pork. In the past couple of years, I've been using more small stuff for pens, stoppers and other little items. This week, I've been brushing the shavings from my lathe into a small box to have cherry for my grill. Times are tough!
