Let me know if you are interested in acquiring this piece, or any of my other work. I'll be both happy and sad … Continue reading New Item Added to Store
My About page is a dry read and I would like to change that. One idea I have is to write it in a Question & Answer format and that's where I need your help. Do you have any interesting questions for me? (They don't have to be woodworking related.) Ever wonder who inspires me … Continue reading ? & A

Router bit sets with 30 assorted bits seem like a great deal and an affordable way to start your collection. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who bought one of these sets. They are good value if you look at the cost per bit. However, the sets often come with moulding profile bits … Continue reading Overflow, Part XI
Yesterday, I went down to the shop with the intention of completing a piece of furniture. I had no idea what I was going to build, but knew it was likely to be sculpted.
