Discovered @buzzhoney yesterday while riding through Mount Barker. Such a unique experience tasting such an amazing variety of honeys - all while learning about the processes behind the flavors. It was an awesome place with great people, obviously followed with the usual pleasant chat with the kind folks often found here in #mountbarker. #handorf #adelaidehills #australia (at Buzz Honey)

"Tethered" is so large, it gets its own wall. And Mexico didn't even have to pay for it! #mixedmedia #art #southernmakers #hsv

We put that crazy colored moulding to use! They'll be available @southernmakers next weekend 😉 #mixedmedia #art

[rustedwillow]

This is some of the most unique moulding we have ever seen. It makes some pretty amazing shapes and shadows to put to use. (of course it came for @garlangudgerjr at Southern Accents 👍🏻) The little one says it looks like "duck feet"! Man it's good to be creating again after a brief hiatus! Very renewed. It always feels like something is missing when we are not making #art. #mixedmedia #southernmakers

He's a little one (from off cuts) after a wax, a bit of oil and some reclaimed walnut from a painted door mullion on top. We have spent countless hours tuning saws and building jigs to get those 45s to line up that tight. #woodworking #art #artbox

The best part about making boxes is being able to slide the lid down after the final cut is made. It makes such a satisfying noise and means ya didn't mess any measurements up! 😅#woodworking #art #mixedmedia

The new sled worked flawlessly. Very tight 45's on the spalted maple art box. Switched from automotive tape to this threaded packaging tape for clamping and it works a lot better if ya ask me!
