Cheapest Finish Stir (Fry!) Stick

Maybe both of you didn't think of this before, but bulk packs of chopsticks make for excellent finish stir sticks. I get mine from Lee-Lee market: 50 pair for about $1. That's 100 stir sticks for your bowl of finish. Plus, if a bug gets in there, grab the other stick and fish it out. :)

Some Projects

Angle Madness! a diamond-shaped entertainment center.
Tim Burton Table a five-legged demilune that would fit naturally in a Tim Burton film.
Sculpted Mahogany Vanity a wall-mounted vanity with a granite top.
The After-Earthquake Detector a fun project with the Bridge City JMPv2; this is John Economaki's project we built as a WIA'11 demo.
A small card box was a project Charles Neil created and I needed a Christmas present :) This was the first project in the No Comment format.
Quilted Maple Picture Frame was a project for my best friend for a massive painting he got on his honeymoon.
Floating-Top Figured Eucalyptus end table was a quick one-day build; the finish took longer, naturally :)
French-knot Walnut Inlay in Cork Floor was making the landing for my stairs; super easy.
Jewelry box inserts was mostly a project to show using the Bridge City JMPv2 and HP-6v2 plane; add gilding and it's more fun.
