I don’t speak “Oregonian” like Thomas does, but I can see that you are an amazingly talented woodworker. Glad you are here with us. Wouldn’t that be fun for all of us to come visit you some day?

Beautiful. I love that there are wood workers, restorers that bring these beautiful pieces back to thier original glory. A wonderful talent you have. How long does a piece like this take to restore?
