Timber, lovely timber!

My husband is blessed with many many talents. He can do, make, complete, fix anything he puts his mind and hands to. If I were to start writing about the things he has done, this page would never end. This is not unusual you might say, no its not, building cabinets, removing motors and gearboxes from cars, climbing over trucks to remove and fix electrics, these are not unusual for a lot of men, but my husband is confined to a wheelchair......confined not being a good word because during his life he has been out of his chair, sitting on or beside whatever he had fixed, or built. 

Today he is making a display case to hang on the wall. This case, when finished, will display some other items he has made. He has made a full size Long Sword and Katana, and a Gladiator type sword. All these swords are made from timber and crafted to look exactly like the real thing.

The smell of timber is something that is quite common place around our house. These items are just some of the many things he has made. Furniture including, TV cabinets, beds, fish tank stands and dolls furniture. Then there are the smaller items like many different types of jewellery boxes, children's table and chairs, and little wheelbarrows.

God given talents are things we should never abuse or take for granted, they are given to us so we can show Gods goodness to us by sharing them with others. We don't have too many of the items that have been made, mostly they have been given as gifts. These we will keep and be on display!
