Getting started; Learning that "I can't do it all"

 It's not like I don't know how to do what needs to be done, it's that I am only one. The mode of production that I employ in my art is a long one in that I harvest or salvage almost all of the wood that I use.

For eg. this Walnut took over 12 years to get to this stage.

Of course this is an extreem.

At the other end of the spectrom, this Cherry was cut from a block of seasonded "Firewood", and will be dry enough to work further almost right away.
