I guess I now have a signature for things I make

Putting on the last coat of varnish for the conference table I've been making for LOML I noticed a small flaw. One solitary cat hair buried in the finish. Seems everything I make has that one hair, well, actually a different one in each in the finish. I guess the grandkids will one day say "that right there proves that grandpa made this".

It isn't conspicuous unless you know where it is as the hair is from a yellow tom. I'm so over sanding this top that it stays as the top looks great. The padauk under the finish almost looks iridescent from an angle.

A hundred years from now, legions of antique appraisers will be ardently searching for that one telltale cat hair...

How did you train the cat to leave just one hair????

It deposits it on my shirt in such a manner that it floats free once I start finishing. It is a very smart cat.

Here's my mark of ownership. I did it all my way with a slip of the router.
