Wilmington Food and Wood Fest

[sapwood]

Well--

We picked the perfect day; Matt picked the perfect place; and we both picked at David's (Gillie) brain for morsels of his expansive knowledge of wood and woodworking :mrgreen:

Matt, David, and Roger at the Dock Side Restaurant in Wilmington

It was a delightful day with Matt squiring me around and David allowing us a visit to his shop. David's shop is well-equipped with ample evidence of "real" woodworking going on.

So thanks to Matt for putting up with a "nattering" old man and to David for displaying some beautiful wood and patiently explaining the qualities, varieties, and best use of wood types! :icon_thum

Dockside is one of my favorites. I am glad that you guys had a great time, wish I could have been there.

When were you guys at Dockside? I was there on Sunday around noon. I was the dummy who had forgotten to put on sunscreen Saturday before spending 3+ hours at the beach with my kids (didn't think we would be there for more than an hour). Geez, that water was cold!!1 I didn't get in any deeper than my knees but my 6 year old son couldn't be stopped. I think he left a few seashells on the beach.

If only you had been wearing some NC Woodworker apparel.....

Looks like a great time was had by all. I am envious of y'all for getting to meet the famous (infamous) David Gille in person. It's his fault that I am a Waterlox user (probably abuser).

Yeah, I had a great time. Always fun to BS with other woodworkers.

WW2K - we were at Dockside yesterday. So, we didn't see anyone immitating a lobster covered in sawdust. Your kids are nuts! This is still full-suit weather. That's why the surfboard is still in the garage (yeah, I know I'm a wimp...)

Funny, I had lunch with him yesterday and a can of Waterlox appeared in my garage today. He also got me going on Danish Oil a week or two ago... He's like the drug dealer of the woodworking world...

From Danish Oil to Waterlox to what?? I keep hanging out with David and he'll have me so severly hooked that I'll be broke, no wife, no home, and with a nasty wood finish habit to support.

Hey guys! Sorry to miss the get together. Maybe next time Wilmingtonian and I can join in.

 

[Wilmingtonian]

I'm there, how are you feeling skeeter?

 

[skeeter]

Maybe it's just me, but it seems the older you get the slower the bones mend!!!!!!!!!!
