I've never seen better looking stuff come from a "pro" so I think you did good. BTW, I would love to have the recipe for pepperoni. I didn't care for the taste of the last recipe I tried.

NOT good working with wood? Cmon Bernie, those utensils are amazing. Simply gorgeous. And the treasure box is beautiful. Okay, but really? About that sawmill lesson thats waiting for me....is being able to make utensils part of the plan? I mean, if I pass the lesson will this just come naturally to me? Cuz, wow. If so, I really need to find some trees. Are you kidding me? NOT good working with wood? Cmon Bernie, those utensils are amazing. Simply gorgeous. And the treasure box is beautiful.

I am totally impressed with the utensils. Hah! Lucky you and kudos to you for cooking and cooking. I would so love to have the time to cook and put stuff in the freezer for future use. Anyways, one can dream. The box that Bernie made himself looks kinda like a little cedar chest i had as a child, man I still can smell it and he has such talent. you know that does remind me that my hubby made his mom a table over the summer, she wanted to buy it for like 500 bucks but he said Mom, i can make it and it will be free (all she wanted was to have like a pedestial and have a glass top made just for it to rest on it) gosh it took him forever to sand and then he put this shiny stuff but don't know how to spell it, but it was impressive and he used cedar also. I just love to smell it, so fresh and clean. How are the chickens doin? Duke? Oh I can just smell the cedar now. I am totally impressed with the utensils. Hah!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: that Bernie husband of yours is quite the talented guy! I've not seen utensils made of cedar before - do they smell good? Will they hold up to cooking and such? You guys are a great team - look at that list of all that you accomplished on your week "off". I bet the doggies loved having you around. :-) Oh my goodness, those utensils are GORGEOUS! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: that Bernie husband of yours is quite the talented guy!

Bernie certainly does have talent in woodworking. I would pay good money for that box! It's beautiful and I know it has the lovely smell of cedar, too. Glad you had a nice week of vacation.
