Hmm, didn't that mandala show up somewhere else? Like maybe greeting cards or something, available from the store or maybe that cafe place? (I'm thinking it might be Susan's work, though could be just imagining things, again).
 
And by the way, have a look at that three legged stool in the first shot. I have practically begged, on several occasions, to have another one made like that (though slightly custom, of course). It is just amazing, perfect height for seated bass playing, possibly the most comfortable wooden seat I have ever felt, and the workmanship is outstanding (Bob, the mostly finish guy, does a lot of wood turning in his spare time).

so the wolf drooled on james???
lol
cool
IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!

Very nice, Jeff! It won't be long now.

The painting on the wall is a Bob Thomas...  I believe he was one of Susan's mentor's. There are several paintings of his there in Santa Rosa~ another good reason to make the trip out there....

Here's the positioning for "DIRE WOLF"  

 Not sure exactly how much Ebony will show on either side yet, but there will be some of course.   Also thought you'd want to see the drooler with all the finish:  

Wow, that looks So good. I especially like the Iris'.
