Well there is blood all over the shop floor. Yes it is mine, but the wound isn't as bad as it could have been. I started shaping a Cherrywood out of Cherry wood. A cherrywood is an angled flat bottom bent stem pipe. I love that shape and thought I would have a go. I normally wear a face shield, a respirator and gloves, but I made the mistake of not puttng on my gloves and basically sanded one of my knuckles off. I'm missing all of the skin on my pointer finger right at the knuckle pretty much down to the bone and man it hurts. So I won't be taking any Shain originals to the Chattanooga show, but I've got a great selection of estates restored. I started working on a few more this week but I don't know if I'll get enough functionality out of my left hand to get them done. Oh well. Dang it hurts!
