SeaRock: Teak, oil and scorpio

About SeaRock

SeaRock is wave-washed granite cliffs, wind-swept monterey cypress & pine, an historic granite home growing out of granite cliffs amidst trees, a few acres along the rugged Pacific Ocean coastline.

Built in the early 20th century by a renowned architect Charles Greene, the home remains a monument to an era of craftsmanship and lifestyle gone by.

Listen to the tide until pace and breath slows to match rhythm. Witness creation vibrating and realign with it.

Here I lived from Oct. 2006 through Oct. 2013 as steward and manager.

Teak, oil and scorpio

Not for the first time, I found a small scorpion inside, this one nearly expired, inside where yesterday there was no sign. I've read that they're common here-abouts, and I've also experienced it, but they're always startling to come across.

The doors and window sash of the main house are built from teak and mahogany. They, like the greenhouse red gum eucalyptus, are due for an anointing with oil. The studio door serves as my guinea pig for this project. I'll sand all exterior surfaces down to fresh wood...
