My first curupay project

simple tabletop made from recycled curupay deck wood

As simple as can be: sanded and finished recycled curupay decking laid into a metal firewood stand we had made some time ago. Next up: finishing the picnic table top I started.

Anacahuita trees, at least in my mind, are smallish, wispy shade trees. At least they were until I saw this one. Wow!

Responsive, sophisticated web site designs, but you still have to type “www” to get to them.

Uruguay, you never cease to amaze me.
