Campsite
KAPOW 2021 Week 19	Photography	May 9, 2021
KAPOW = Kevin’s Art Project of the Week

A snapshot of a campsite, or something more? The dramatic light and sunset over the beach /ocean juxtaposed with the tranquil campsite setting all come together to tell a story–the story of a great campsite.

Folding Table Top
KAPOW 2021 Week 17	Woodworking	April 25, 2021
KAPOW = Kevin’s Art Project of the Week

Several weeks ago I built a fold-up camp table. The table design is based on a fold-up table that my father builds. The design is great, small, and super useful at camp. I have one of my father’s table (picture below) and built this one.

As mentioned above, I built the table a couple of weeks ago. I put a thick coat of epoxy resin on the top I made….and it was kind of a disaster. So, this week for the KAPOW, I built this new top of out strips of varying woods. It came out looking nice.

Rethinking the design of the table top, I would put a thin strip of wood running 90 degrees to the strips along the edge that makes the seam of the table top. I think it would look nicer and also be a stronger joint to keep the table top together better longer.

SeaStar

A Sea Star on the beach. Along the Strait of Juan de Fuca/Salish Sea, we do not see as many sea stars as along the open Pacific Ocean, so this little guy was a welcome sight.

I started my first self-designed leather handbag. I did not quite finish during the week, but did get the carcass of the bag complete. The design uses two different leathers.

Woodpecker Test

KAPOW = Kevin’s Art Project of the Week

A digital painting done as a test/practice for a future watercolor painting. I like the motif of the bark pattern….the woodpecker needs some work.
