Look at that grain.

Just yesterday, Josh said, "If I had a nickel for every time Brad's said, 'look at that grain', I'd be a rich man." It's true. Brad loves wood -- the smell and grain patterns -- and is always holding up another piece for exclamation. In this picture he is sorting, examining and exclaiming over the recycled wood that will be the trim on the guesthouse windows.

Guesthouse Trim

Brad is digging more grungy wood out of the piles of wood in the tent to clean up and use for window trim in the guesthouse.  It's amazing how beautiful it becomes after planing and sanding.  However, at this stage it is pretty nasty with paint, nails, gouges and not a smooth surface anywhere.
