Dining room chairs

I was able to save two old dining room chairs. Took the seats off for re-covering. Then I stained them a dark mahogany. Actually, they look fairly decent. I hope the stain keeps, instead of wearing off. Maybe they will be just decorative instead of in use all the time.

3 Cutting Boards

I made three cutting boards for the Friend of the Virgin Island National Park. Delivered last night to the board meeting. Got a small round of applause, since the boards are wicked good.

Wicked good

I wonder how "wicked" got to be such a ubiquitous word in New England. Everything is wicked something. Wicked good, wicked bad, take a wicked left, etc. Sometimes something is just plain wicked. Take a wicked bag was the superlative for take a bag, which was about the worst insult you could say to somebody. I still say it, as does Mary. Even the big M knows and understands proper usage of wicked, but she doesn't say it.
