Smells like burning

It took a new power tool and fire, but I finally like padauk. I might try some sort of clear coat instead of the usual wax to bring out the color.

Finished pillows

The second one did not go so well. Something went wrong with the emulsion, causing it to not set. Twice. So I got new emulsion. And applied it too heavy, causing drip bumps on the underside of the screen. That does not make for a good print. So I scraped the bumps down. Somewhere in the middle of all that, the sewing machine jammed and would not work.

But finally, they're done.
