Among many awful things, wasn’t click bait journalism something detestable that has developed out of the later 2000’s, and the rise of the internet. Oh, it’s deplorable. Loathsome even. I hate to see it, and do my best to avoid stuff like that, though it is far more widespread than you would think. Lots of what I would have considered, upright journalism, is presented this way with utterly ridiculous tag lines and head lines written by fools. Ugh. What a waste of an important medium. Gotta get those clicks, and eyeballs on ads though. All about the revenue. Bah!

It’s a gray day here, overcast, with some minor spitting rain. No torrential downpours as of yet. My straw for a lawn could use it though.

I finished up my tapered legged end table made of Walnut & Hickory yesterday. I used Danish oil for colour, and Osmo clear poly to protect it, and add just a touch of sheen. Looks nice. My through and through mortises could do with a bit of work, but I’m happy enough with it as is. It’s all a learning experience at this point. Some might recall my sculpted Ogre Rogue bust which I’ve placed on top for photographing the table. The splines don’t pop as much as I’d hoped. I think the bleached sap wood from the walnut mutes the contrast a bit. No matter, live and learn. Moving along!
