As I work away in my sewing room Bud works away in his wood shop. Last fall he made several benches for sitting around our fire pit. It was nice to always have them there instead of dragging out the lawn chairs as we had been doing each time we lit a fire. This Christmas he make each of our kids one. He personalized each one with their interests in mind.
Trilby and Mikes' had the tailgate of his old Ford pickup, The High Roller, as the back.
Travis and Kerry's has the silhouette of an Angus show calf on the back of it.
Tasha and Kyle's has a Ford tailgate with the Capper Ford emblem on it, which is where Kyle works.
And Trina and Tanner's has a Cubs emblem on the back of it. Tanner is a huge Cubs fan and so is Trina by default!
He really enjoys working with wood. It may run in his blood as his uncle was an excellent woodworker. He also spent time helping my dad with many projects.
Hopefully the kids enjoy what he made them.
He also made several grandkids Christmas gifts, but that will wait for another post.
