Congratulations! At one time there was a forum topic on the site, started by Ms DebbieP I think, where you could comment on your print accomplishments. You should brag a little more on that thread and bring it back to the top.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

How long did it take to make those by the way?

Wow, congratulations! You should mention this in the Can I Have Your Autograph? forum topic as Jeff suggested.

Congratulations!

-- Jiri

Those are awesome. You might need to change your signature line, somehow I don’t think “just another woodworker” fits your skill. Congratulations on the cover. Oh, and I think it was Dizzy Dean or maybe Yogi Berra that said “it ain’t bragging if you can do it” Well, you can do it.

What’s really cool is that I can show that catalog to my friends and say, “I know the guy who made these! He’s a LumberJock!” Congrats Schwingding!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

This is sitting on my kitchen table right now. Good job and congratulations. Keep up the good work.

Nice Job!

Congrates! (and on my favorite magazine!)

-- The Gnarly Wood Shoppe

Congrats

Forgive me but at first I thought the one looked like a very cool shoe horn?

What kind of wood might that be?

I often save the covers of that mag and put them in my scrap book.

grand acomplishment !! question , the two spoons …... one for dieters and one for non dieters ?? lol

When the catalog came in the mail yesterday, I looked at the name and was sure it was you. congratulations. Great work on the fork and spoon as well.

-- Thos. Angle

When I got my catalogue in the mail, I thought that the spoons looked familiar—your “slither” and the photo of the spoon and fork??

I didn’t bother to look further.. but now.. why… you brag and I’ll brag—I’m going to tell everyone that this is a LumberJock’s work. Yup.. going to carry the catalogue with me!!!!
Congratulations (and yes.. go to the autograph page please and add it to our list)

I’m so excited. Do you have any buttons left on your shirts?

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Awesome! Congratulations. I am not surprised that you made the cover… actually I am surprised it hasn’t happened already.

-- Check out my new website! http://www.blakeweberwoodworking.com

I got my catalogue in the mail yesterday and have to admit I looked at the cover a long time but couldn’t figure out the type of wood. Nice work, congrats.

-- DocK, WV

-- mjhaines

Thanks folks! They are buckeye burl. Usable? Heavens no! My spoons are purely decorative.

-- Just another woodworker

Congratulations for making the cover.

The work does deserve it though. Very inspiring.

You need to change your by line…...Just another woodworker, I don’t think so.

-- DocK, WV

I just got my catalog yesterday and today I can actually converse with the person who made the front cover! Amazing!

You go Dude! Excellent!

-- miles125, Alabama.."Architecture is frozen music""

Awesome dude. Keep up the cool work. Did they pay you for the pic? mike

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

What can still be said…....? Great job. You have the right to bragg.

Congratulations, those are amazing.

-- Chris

nice salad spoons!(?)!! congrats on the cover.

I’m convinced you’re a fantastic woodworker, but HOW did you get someone like a tool company or Smithsonian to consider displaying your work?? Do you just send pictures and say “I think you should display this” ??

Not knocking your skills, but I find it statistically impossible to make one’s work stand out above thousands of others’ work in such a way. Let us know!!

Congrats

Very impressive! Both the carved untensils and the cover.
