Grilling at the new table


Quoc spent a few days last week making a new table for the deck. Last night as the varnish layers had dried, we got to try it out. The table is made of about 650 pen blanks - the pieces of wood that go to make wooden pens. It's amazing. As one friend suggested, Missoni Jenga.
