MissScripture Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Just before my heart procedure, I got a statue of St. Philomena to help keep me company in the hospital. Well, she did an awesome job taking care of me, and so for Christmas, my Daddy built me a home for her: [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o102/EagleOneTheatreChick/StPhilomena.jpg[/IMG] I am so blessed!

My dad was good with woodworking as well... me...notsomuch [/quote] I didn't get the woodworking talent from him my dad, either. But I've been pleased to discover I did, to some extent, get the talent for creatively making things fit together when something goes wrong. I just usually use that talent on things like crocheting and sewing and cooking rather than wood. I do love the smell of fresh cut wood, though!

[/quote] I've been telling him...but fortunately (or unfortunately for you ) the cabinetry business has been picking up a little. It may or may not also have something to do with his daughter commissioning furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Normile Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Did you father build this, or was it carved out of a piece of wood. He is a talented woodworker. That is a beautiful way to display your icon, I bet he could sell those for use for many statues. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can carve a little, but nothing like he can build. He is going to build pretty much all of my furniture when I get a house.
