re: Big commission piece coming my way

My cousin recently, who has seen the stuff I’ve made on Facebook, sent me a message praising my skills and asking if I would make him a table for card playing. In return, I could come visit him! LOL. So he says he wants a simple table, about 4′ × 8′ for playing cards in his basement. Now, he lives in Vermont. I love in Long Island, NY.

I told him no problem. I’ll put a sheet of plywood on 2 saw horses. After all, that meets his stated requirements perfectly! Haha… Then I said I have a lot of projects already in the queue and it night take a bit of time to get to his table.

But then I told him if he saws up a couple of walnut and maple trees, his table would immediately go to the top of the queue. I haven’t heard back from him since.
