I DID A LITTLE WORK ON THE PINECONES TODAY AND THEN took my wife to dinner at a waterfront restaurant.  What a lovely Sept. evening, very typical this time of the year.

​Looking to the east, Mt. Baker rises above the foothills aglow in the rays of the setting sun.

​But despite all the beauty I did get a little uke work done.  Here I am trimming up the peg head sawing with a jeweler's saw the ragged edges of the "Pinecone" plate.

Here is one of the peg heads completed.  Note the fancy saw job cutting around all of those crazy points.  I am getting pretty good a a jeweler's saw.  A minor touch up with a fine rasp and sandpaper and this part of the project is done.
