The setting sun turns the clouds over Lake Huron pink at the end of another summer day. The location is near East Tawas, Michigan.
Well, almost complete. It's not glued together yet and has no finish but all the parts are there and it actually works. That white string hanging from the bobbin was a piece of twine I threaded the unit with and ran the wheel to twist it and wind it on the bobbin. I found out that spinning wheels are a whole lot of work but quite satisfying in the end. I've got a sucko lathe that didn't make all the turning any easier but I survived. The wheel is mostly curly maple with some oak, cherry, mahogany, yew and poplar used in some of the smaller parts. I steam bent some 1/8" wood for the flyer and glued seven layers together.
Last shot of the night. Jupiter (center) is getting close to setting behind some clouds that were rolling in early that morning.
With autumn already underway and a day off work I spent some time at Allen Banks in the company of my brother. There wasn’t quite as much colour as we’d hoped, maybe needs about another week till it’s at it’s best, but the leaves are definitely putting on some of their final show of colour.
