The Oak

The English or Pendunculate Oak has held a special place in history not least because it provided most of the timber used for building naval vessels. A mature tree below grows into a characteristically majestic shape , the crown being widely and irregularly domed and supported by a sturdy and massive trunk. This oak has leaves with very short stalks but the acorns  are carried in pairs on long stems. In spring the young green leaves emerge from their buds and the flowers appear. Male flowers are on very slender catkins which are grouped in bunches. Female catkins grow at the ends of new shoots. In the summer there is often further leaf growth. these leaves, speckled brush-cricket, are red.

Accenting a Kitchen cabinet

delivers a custom crafted look

The rules of kitchen design tend to favor cabinets all in a row, but the beauty of rules is that they can
sometimes be bent for the sake of style, without compromising function, and that's exactly what happened in this kitchen. The long row of oak cupboards,  nice enough to look at, but in a predictable sort of way. All it took was some small changes to have them stand out, litterally.
In the middle of the cabinet row, a nicely designed cupboard was easily removed so it could be stripped and prepped for a new stain and topcoat. Before the cabinet got its new color, the oak was treated with Minwax Water-Based Pre-Stain Wood Comditioner. Then it was stained with Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain Verdigris, one of the 68 custom-mixed decortor colors now availale. The final topcoating was done with Minwax Polcrylic Protective Finish in a semi-gloss sheen. But instead of simply putting the cabinet back where it was, wood spacer blocks were fastened to the wall to make the unit to protrude about four inches. To create a look of a traditional breakfront, oak beaded board and decorative brackets were installed underneath. Up top, new crown molding was installed along the entire row to tie it all together and further enhance the traditional style. The result of this bit of rule-bending gave the kitchen a new contour and a beautiful focal point.  MINWAX  minwax.com

Magic of letters

THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO FIGURE ALL THIS OUT.
BUT I KNOW YOU WILL APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK.

Did you know "listen" and silent use the same letters?

Do you know that the words "race car" spelled backwards still spells "race car"?

And that "eat is the only word that if you take the first letter and move it to the last
it spells its past tense "ate"?

HOW WEIRD IS THAT?

Pure and pristine

Just like the Texas Hill Country
To get yo a perfect finish, it matters where and how you start.
The Enchanted Rock story begins in the icylic backdrop of the Texas Hill Country.
Inspired by the rugged landscapes starry nights and natural springs that populate the area.
