A Spirit of Meekness In Wood
….simple goes the chisel,
the meek inherit the wood,
cherry moves my hand….

What a challenge it is today in this milieu of character ambiance, to turn off all machines and work for days in the simple simplicity of hand tools. And may I add that at times I still use those machine tools, but no-thing gives the flavor of satisfaction that comes from paring the wood by hand.
Thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank

I had a hard time knowing what it really felt like to work wood by hand until I learned to sharpen my tools. A laborious task turned to sweet music…
