Bark Begone!

My client didn't want a hall table, so I'm making two chairside tables.

After much scraping -- I didn't stop working until 8:30 pm yesterday -- the bark has been removed. (I received a mild scolding for failing to eat dinner at an appropriate time.) My overzealousness was rewarded by an aching back this morning, but it didn't stop me from playing pickleball -- albeit not very well.
