I’ve run out of superlatives to describe your work and workmanship Darrell. All I can say is, if I were younger and had your talent and know how, I would be a very happy man.

-- Mike, American in Norway

Real beautiful, I love the style and proportions, and the skill you put into it is outstanding.

-- You know.... I think that old wood needs to be furniture.

To you sir, I Doff my Fedora. My goal is to make a Greene and Greene inspired piece. Yours is one of the bars to reach for.

-- Bill - If I knew GRANDKIDS were so much fun I would have had them first.

Thanks everyone!
I had a finisher do the finish for me – which is a very finely ground (very expensive too!) pigmented stain with a top coat that is a hy-bred – not quite a canalized lacquer – my finisher gets into chemistry and looses me at this point.

When doing the finish myself I have finish that I have developed – which I described on my blog

I saw this one in the magazine, which rarely appears here, and the photo of this one cut down for a coffee table looks awful. This is much nicer in it,s original form.

You do amazing work. Very excellent craftsmanship. I can’t wait to see your next piece. Do you do just G&G design?

-- Hold on! Let me get the board stretcher!

Hi Matt,
thanks –
For the time being I do only G&G inspired work – I don’t foresee that changing but I don’t like boxing myself in either – I like to think I go wherever my whim takes me – so for now that is G&G

I’m with Mike there not enough words to descpibe how wonderful your works. I’d also like the younger part of his statement also.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I enjoyed your book and keep it nearby. Nice job on this piece too. Great work in the G&G vernacular. Can’t wait to see more.

always,
