Just stumbled onto this site.  Very creative  and talented members.  Beautiful work.

I am a life time wood worker.  Raised third hand to the man who could build anything.

When 8th grade wood shop rolled around, I was not much interested....I was raised in

wood shop.  Dad is gone now.  Left me all the tools and knowledge.  I live in the house

he built and I was raised in.  Time now for me to create my own shop and let my

imagination roam.  

In past lives, I have worked construction in Alaska.

Build houses from concrete to kitchen cabinets.  Built a bunch of kitchens, hutches and small wall

cabinets.   In high school I built a bunch of dulcimers.  Still have a few of those around.

Current interest is band saw boxes.  I finally have the tools to mill raw wood into beautiful things.

As the apple does not fall far from the tree, functionality tends to be the primary concern

in what I build.  I feel a need to get away from that.  Wood as a medium for art is endless.

Looking forward to that kind of stimulus here.
