This scribble, when I do it, is my initials, that are my signature on every chair I build.  BUT it's actually great art, the work of my calligrapher friend and collaborator, Debi Zeinert of the Blooming Quill.  Click on it to see Debi's work

   Art in Wood

Wood has always intrigued me.  Starting with orange crates from the corner market, my interest and opportunities grew slowly.  A project for my girls with pine from the lumber yard and borrowed tools, picking up a used tool now and again.  It was a chance encounter with a friend that clicked all kinds of switches in my head - we attempted to make ski-waxing benches out of hard maple.  The project was less than successful, but the friend, Phil Van Valkenberg was trained as a machinist: he pointed out to me that precision machining principles could apply to wood - what has followed is a great adventure fueled by curiosity and challenges.
