Me? I just like making stuff. Everything from pens to beds, from jewelry boxes to kitchen cabinets. It is all good. And I am always on the lookout for new techniques that I can use to take my work to the next level. Some of my favorite techniques so far have been: vacuum press veneering, bent lamination, and router inlay, and most recently, turning. Some techniques I am still looking forward to are: double-bevel marquetry, staved/segmented turning, gilding and chemical patination.

This past Friday morning, my wife dragged me, kicking and screaming, to the farmer’s market/flea market, to take advantage of the affordable, fresh produce. As I daydreamed about my next project, it caught my attention from out of the corne...
