The Wren’s Roost

I have not been in the shop much for the last three weeks. Guess I will let y'all know where I have been and why I have not posted anything lately. I am copying this from my personal page. I am finally back in the shop, but severely behind on making everything for this holiday shopping season. Glad to be back in the shop making man glitter!!!

Three weeks ago this past Saturday I cut the grass in our field. It is about 12 acres. The next morning my jaw hurt. It progressively got more painful. It got to the point I made a dentist appointment and they took X-rays. Two dentists looked and were stumped as to why I was in so much pain. Sent me home with some mouthwash that numbs for a short period. Couple days later I had an appointment with my primary care doc. Stumped there too. Got sent home with some muscle relaxers and a broad spectrum antibiotic. Later that night the unrelenting pain sent me to the ER. Where they were stumped too, but did an injection of a hi dose pain killer and I caught about 4 hours of relief before the pain started back. I was well into week 2 at this point.
I started feeling what felt like a blister on the inside of my jaw where your wisdom teeth would be It kept getting bigger and more painful.
I finally got a referral for an oral surgeon. He took more X-rays and had a cool device that took 3D X-rays that he could manipulate on his computer. He found a fragment of bone that he referred to as “sluffing off”. Made an appointment to do the surgery to remove the bone and to sand down the place the bone fragment came from.
A few days ago the blister feeling place pretty much disappeared and I felt something hard in its place with my tongue. It kept getting bigger. And you know how your tongue is, the tiniest thing in your mouth feels 1000x bigger than it is. I’ve been picking at that place for days. Saturday morning I finally got a fingernail under an edge of the hard spot and I could feel it move. Dug back in again and felt the hard spot rotate in my gum line. Finally it dropped off into my mouth and I spit it out. Turns out the bone fragment worked its way out of the side of my gum. Instant pain reliever.
Took a pic of it on a penny for size.

Good morning. We hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. This starts our preparations for the fall holiday events. We will start packing away most all of our inventory to take to the events. If you’ve been thinking of one of our rolling pins or cutting boards, grab one before we take the individual pins off our website. After the listings are off the website, we will still have pins and boards available, but we will send the first available.

Why do we recommend you store your cutting boards on their side? This is a piece that was trimmed off a cutting board to square it up. It was flat. We had a passing shower and this is what happened when it dried. This is an exaggeration of what will likely happen to your board, but this is how your board will want to react when it dries.

If you are local to Greenville, SC come out this Saturday 9/5 to Rockler Woodworking from 9-1. We will be there with some of our items for a "meet the maker" event.

Love to meet as many of you as we can!

Rebecca has some sanding to do this weekend. 🤣🤣

Didn’t get too many guesses yesterday. But here is what was under the plug on the cutting board. I’ll get it finished up today.

Today’s cutting board sneak peek. Any guesses what it may be? 😁
