Since I found remains of white paint on it, I decided to repaint it white. Actual color used was Rust-Oleum "ivory" since white these days is a more blinding white compared to way back when.

I also went out to see Jim Collums today for something else and I decided once I finish the woodmanse I'll donate it to his museum in Pleasanton

They will need to build another building or extend the one they have.

He said he was wanting to have that done. But it could always go outside to be a spinner aswell! We'll see, plans may change. I've still got a little ways to go in it. Haven't started on the wheel yet. After this one is gone though I'd like to find another woodmanse, either a mogul or a 6ft one with wood bearing like the one you have Wayne.
