It was another SUNNY and 70 degree day that had very few mosquitoes when I began completing the stool. About two hours in, they were back with a vengeance, biting and milling about. I would step out into the airstrip where the breeze blew them away to finish the wedges but had to return to the saw mill for assembly. Without resorting to the nasty OFF, I persevered, posed and shot a couple of pictures. Thinking ahead, I planned for the extra length for stability, over-sized guests, and of course, a place to set my plate and/or beer.
Diamond Willow (green) were used for wedge material...hand-made in USA by an American
Finished afternoon with bike ride to the river and visited with Dieter and Hannalore. I was introduced to Jerry (Montana) and his girlfriend, Rosalynne (Fairbanks) who are in Gulkana until August to catch King Salmon. Jerry offered to take me out on the river in his boat once the water clears. Nothing like firsthand instruction from a veteran.
