This is a crowning achievement of the past year.  I’ve been interested in woodworking for a long time, and tried my hand at various furniture endeavors in the past.  I took Joinery last year and was hooked.  And the Poland and New Hampshire projects only encouraged my fascination with puzzling together pieces of wood to create structure and form.  My practical interests overcoming the potential artistic ones, I decided to embark on one of the bigger woodworking projects I’ve done yet… Continue reading →
