I just wanted to congratulate our fellow L.J., Dennis Zongker, for having his "Griffin End Table" published in the Dec. '08 issue of C.W.B. ( Custom Woodworking Business) Magazine. pgs. 26 & 27
In an article appropriately titled; "An End Table to End All End Tables", Dennis's table is shown in two beautiful photographs.
In the interview, his passion and knowledge of furniture styles and periods is obvious. A sign of someone that truly immerses themselves in their work, stemming from a genuine love of their work.
His workmanship is nothing short of amazing, as is his design skill.
Certainly an inspiration to me, and I'll bet most of us L.J."s
And I have to pipe in that Dennis is as open-handed and unassuming as he seems here on these pages. His generosity to me personally has been astounding, and it's refreshing to see someone who is just so excited by the process of his craft.
I think Dennis is blessed to be successful at Element Two of life (Element One being the Golden Rule - which he also practices to full effect): "Do what you love, love what you do." That fact that he gets a paycheck from this is a testament to his skill and vision, and just a fair ladle of gravy to boot.
Congratulations on your win, Dennis. You entirely deserve it.
Thank you Lee! It is a honor coming from you. I have the highest respect for you. Your a excellent craftsman, business man, And I've always enjoyed your blogs and comments here on Lumberjocks.
Also I wanted to thank everyone else here at lumberjocks. Their are so many talented woodworkers here at Lumberjocks! This web site has given inspiration, to try to get better. Plus this web site is a lot of fun, I'ts like being a kid in a candy store.
WOW!! And I thought David Marks had intricate inlays!! And what about those carvings!! I think I can safely speak for everyone here in our chant "We're not worthy, we're not worthy"!!!
My wife can't understand why I would want to save them.
But cookbooks all over the place is okay right?
Lee
