It has been a long time since anything was posted here on the blog.<br />
<br />
Jay has been working nonstop on the creation of new pieces and running to shows here and there throughout the North East.<br />
<br />
With the power outage in Connecticut over the past few weeks he decided that maybe I should take over running the blog and web work for him so that he can keep on working on the other side of things.<br />
<br />
You know, the artistic stuff.<br />
<br />
I'm his brother but I didn't get the artistic abilities that he did. <br />
I do woodworking but far from the level and ability that Jay has.<br />
<br />
I thought I would take a few moments and just post a few pictures of some of his new works here and I will come back and add information on each of the pieces later. <br />
<br />
So for now lets have a look at some of the new items Jay has in process and some of the new finished pieces that are available for purchase and a few that have already been sold.<br />

I have been neglecting this blog for a long time now and focusing my time on my art.<br />
<br />
I will be returning over the next few days with posts and pictures of several of the projects that I have been working on over the past 2 years.<br />
<br />
I have many new items that I think you will all enjoy.<br />
<br />
Several items will be going on display through out the USA shortly. <br />
I will be posting a schedule of dates and locations here as well.<br />
<br />
I have a chance at writing some columns for woodworking magazines in the near future in the works as well.<br />
<br />
Stay tunedUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-582933992368606119.post-30331950832953578352010-01-13T15:07:00.000-05:002010-01-13T15:07:24.735-05:00The Herbie Project - an Effort to memorialize two lifetimesI have been intrigued by an article I read yesterday in my local paper. <br />
<br />
It told of a lifetime that has been spent in care of a tree. Not just any tree, but a tree that has spent 240 years towering over a small town in Maine. <br />
<br />
Frank Knight has spent much of his time since the late 1950's caring for this tree. He helped to nurse it through 14 incursions with the Elm trees worst US threat. Dutch Elm's disease. Frank kept this tree alive and over the years it grew to a height of over 110 feet. A height that has allowed this town and it's residents to call it the "Largest Elm tree in New England"<br />
<br />
Over those years, Frank became close with this tree and gave it a name. "Herbie" The name has stuck. The residents of Yarmouth Maine refer to this tree by name. <br />
<br />
Just the history of this tree compels me to find a way to memorialize it. Not just the tree but the connection between Mr. Knight and the tree known as "Herbie"<br />
<br />
On January 18, 2010 the largest Elm tree in New England will be cut down. It has lost the fight with Dutch elm disease.<br />
<br />
I have had contact with the town offices in Yarmouth and plan to be involved in the "Herbie Project". What I will be able to create from this Elm that predates our nations birth depends on what I can see from within. I am looking to take a trip to Yarmouth in the next few days to view the tree in the natural setting prior to the saws starting the work of removing "Herbie".<br />
<br />
I want to make a memorial piece from this tree that will capture the connection between Frank, "Herbie" and the town of Yarmouth. <br />

The Republicans want the Democrats and the Democrats want the Republicans to end up on a platter with an apple stuffed in his or her mouth, served up by the media for the voting public to see in the full undignified repugnance that will win votes for there side of the political universe.

<br />
A little quick history on the Raspberry burl. <br />
<br />
This was one of the only times I have ever found a whole tree that was nothing but solid burl.<br />
<br />
This Maple tree had lived many many years and had been completely turned into a burl. Right down to the roots, which I have also used in some of the pieces. This "tree" was nearly 5 full feet in diameter. It took 3 days during freezing weather and occasional heavy snowfall to take the remnants of the "tree" from the original location. <br />
<br />
I only harvested this tree because the property owner had decided that the tree had become an eye sore and was attempting to have a tree removal service run the whole tree into a chipper.<br />
<br />
It would have been a tragic waste of an excellent maple burl.<br />
<br />
This section of the burl reminded me of a Seahorse in some ways So that is what it is on it's way to becoming.<br />
<br />

<br />
He stands by welcoming one and all back to his Pad. He has lived a difficult life having dealt with his trials and tribulations from early on in his life. An encounter with a curious child left him with only one eye. An adventure on the road left him with a permanent limp and an odd jumping nature.<br />

The Frogs Pad is made of Balsam Wood, a soft yet friendly wood for carving. It also allowed for the curving formations to bring the Frogs Pad to life.<br />

<br />
Jay's latest full collection, the Raspberry Burl collection, has been in process for nearly 10 years. The hand crafting of each piece is performed in a small shop located in Connecticut. <br />
<br />
Some of the pieces have taken years to complete. <br />
<br />
Jay Dimick performs all the work himself, by hand. <br />
<br />
Each piece finished with a hand oiling process that can take months to complete. It is the oil finishing that draws out the full depth of the fires, knots and grain ribbons that Jay's collections are known for. It is this attention to detail that allows the inner glow and full depth of the wood's natural fires and beauty to come to the surface. <br />
<br />
By hand and not by machinery. <br />
<br />
It adds hundreds of hours to the process, a process that already requires hundreds of hours from the start, but the end result is worth every moment to Jay and to the fortunate owners of pieces from his previous collections. <br />
<br />
We will start to showcase some of the pieces in the current Raspberry collection here as well as some of the new pieces in the upcoming collection while they are in process. <br />
<br />
We will post announcements for new gallery events and other showings as they approach.<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition to posting artwork and public offerings from his collections, Jay will use this blog to post information and knowledge about burl selection, woodworking, finishing and tool care that is essential for woodworkers. Jay has spent over thirty years mastering the art of woodworking and teaching many people how to work with wood, not against the grain.<br />
<br />
If you have points and tips that could be usefull or new ways of looking at old problems post them here or e-mail Jay directly at <a href="mailto:BurlWoodElf@Gmail.com">BurlWoodElf</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
