Hello Douglas;
Glad to see you around here! Sometimes I get busy and don’t have a chance to see every one who comes to LJ, but you were the only one here when I signed in this morning, so I was curious about your love for wood….

I’m also curious about what you mean when you talk about ‘milling up rough lumber….?

—-after following those links you gave, all I can say is WOW, these are in-deed animals of the ‘wood art’!
—-I also thank you for giving me another avenue to explore in woodworking, concerning the use of ‘polymer clay inlays’. I do rustic and as such I am always looking for ways to highlight those cracks of character that are often found in the crutch areas of the slab.

Thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank

Hi Douglas,

I’ve gotten to the point that If it’s less than a couple feet, it’s got to go. In an effort to keep me from crying about that, I donate it to local woodworkers, and pray they use it well.

Sounds silly to say, but wood means a lot to me. I feel I owe it by best efforts, beings it took a while to grow, and it was a living thing.

Keeping anything shorter than that, would get overwhelming rather quickly.

And I too have those “noise memories”. It is rather amazing how a whiff of something triggers memories long forgotten.

Hi Douglas, you should ask Grumpy about the BAR!!! It is one of his projects, perhaps he could send you some photos (this might give him a nudge)! The Wife (Mo)

Hello Douglas, I love the mixed media direction. One area I really want to experiment more with is some of the composites available today as accents and structural pieces as well, it’s an exciting age we live in.

Suliman and JeanMarc-
It’s intriguing to me that this website, conceived and refined continually by a Slovakian gentleman has become a worldwide woodworking showcase and social network. It’s the largest and most expansive guild that has ever has occurred in history. And I (a middling woodworker with big dreams, from Topeka, Kansas, USA) get to be a part of it with you. Superb! رائع Superbe!

Hvala lepa, Martin

Douglas,
I wanted to share a cosmic series of events that happened to me this evening.
I read your generous words about my red pagoda jewelry box and I am greatly honored. As I was looking at the name of the author of the note (you) I noticed that you have over 2600 postings! My curiosity was peaked so I went to your site to check out your work. Before I navigated to your projects page I read your tribute to the three box makers. I followed the first link to Phillip Weber and was blown away. That is the level and style of art to which I can only aspire. Webber’s work is pure art. As I was taking care of the evening chores my mind kept wandering to what I had just seen. Going through the evening mail I saw a photo of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and the juxtaposition of that magnificent building and the Phillip Weber boxes came together in one of those rare flashes. I hope to be able to post images of my next jewelry box soon. I might have to name it something like “The PW Cube”
