Thanks Johanna & Scifan57 for your comments - for Johanna, not sure how large your house may be, but probably could cover a few dozen walls (hey, a LOT of pics that I could post here?) - Dave

I didn't count my walls yet.
If you want to start an exhibition in Austria, we could move our furniture somewhere else, there should be room enough for your pictures.

This was a genuinely-threatening cloud, scanned from a slide taken in 1974. The road took us right under it! The headwind was so strong, our car couldn't get over 50 mph (80 kph). We were more than a little nervous about tornadoes.

BOY - just getting back to this thread and 40 pages or so have newly appeared!
Well, I'm an amateur woodworker and just getting back into doing some projects - in the Spring we vacationed in south Florida (Naples area) and picked up a couple of inexpensive prints which I just completed - the frames are non-miter and have a rustic look; for the left print of two pelicans, I used spalted maple (which is infected w/ a fungus giving the unusual colors); for the right print of 'playing manatees' the wood used is quarter-sawn oak - inside & outer edges rounded over w/ a trim router; simple home-made wiping finish (oil poly + naphtha).
NOW, I need to find a place to hang them! We've been collecting art for 40 yrs and have ran out of room in our modest house - Dave

Thanks Leelai - just another project from a few years ago for only the Ladies here - a wall hanging necklace case for my wife - NOW, she loves jewelry and after 40+ years of marriage has collected a LOT (can't complain since I have my own collecting habits, i.e. optical discs!) - she has about a half dozen boxes for her jewelry, but had a major problem w/ necklaces, i.e. different lengths and many - HOW to organize?
SO, I designed the cabinet below (basically, a thinner version of a medicine cabinet) - made from mahogany (the darker wood) and 'Birds-eye Maple' - pic below on left shows the cabinet closed and on the wall (low profile like a picture), and then opened w/ all of her necklaces nicely hung and easily accessible - she LOVEs it and I'm proud to have come up w/ this design for her - a FUN project! Dave
Oh my.....that is just brilliant! How nice of you to do this for her, I would just love one of those for my many necklaces.....she is certainly loved!
It's beautiful.....you certainly have an eye for detail and do such lovely well crafted work.
What a very lucky wife you have....but then again I'm thinking you are both very lucky to have each other.

I LOVE woodwork! Then when I saw your frames I just stared and stared, how beautiful! Brilliant to be able to create such a seamless piece of art to put a piece of art in! Major kudo's. I really appreciate the choice of woods you used for your wife's jewelry too! Thanks for sharing those!
