Pottery Barn End Tables
Okay, I suppose I should give them some credit for using sustainable materials like bamboo and jute in some of their furnishings, and working on getting some organic fibers into the bedding materials (organic fiber producers aren't geared up for big mass production, which is why I usually go for locally-produced fibers if I can get them -- then production level doesn't matter). But anyway.....
The above link is to a picture of end tables made of chunks of Argentinian Cypress that died of natural causes, and have then been cut up, sanded and polished. Two size ranges, cost for smaller one is US$199 and for larger one is US$249.
Um, if any here would like a chunk of wood for an end table, I'm sure we could arrange one from right here on the farm -- most (if not all) of the wood my BIL Warren brings down off the hill are trees that have died naturally (trees have a lifespan, just like people and other creatures). I'm sure we could sell it for less -- heck, if you want, we could probably sell you a chunk that you can finish yourself... just come on by the farm sometime.
Health Update
Since I neglected to do this earlier.... finished up PT at CDH two Thursdays ago, saw doctor for signoff this past Monday. Still have to do the stretches and exercises indefinitely, but will be able to taper off to fewer times per week as time goes on.
Helping out with sugaring has occasionally been a little challenging, but more often it's my right hip and/or knee that bothers me, not the shoulder (well, the legs are doing most of the work on the hillside, except when we have to dig a line out).
I don't have to take ibuprofen on a daily basis anymore either. Stretching, resting, relaxation exercises, and a variety of energy healing exercises seem to be doing the trick most of the time.
