Definitely some amazing furniture there! I found myself especially admiring Judith Ames’ work. I hadn’t heard of her before, but I’ll remember her now. Thanks for posting!

Hi Dorje,

Thanks for the link. There are some outstanding pieces of furniture pictured there. I am sure that seeing it in person was a wonderful experience.

Thanks for the post.

I’ve actually seen this site before, some really great pieces, thanks for the reminder. I love the work of Nick Boynton and Hank Holzer. So many talented people out there.

Hi Dorje

I had the luck of being taken there last fall by my MIL…she knew I would love it and I did not disappoint her. What an incredible amount of talent on display there…it was a very humbling and inspiring experience. I can’t wait for my next trip to Seattle to pass through their doors again…Tks for sharing it with everyone else. They list several woodworking schools on their site, do you know of one being better than the others? I am looking for a mentoring/learning opportunity.

Yes, it was inspiring to walk through the gallery. Next time we will need to plan even move time, so they don’t kick us out again :). It will be fun to go back and see what new creations they bring to the gallery.

Fantastic inspirational reference Dorje. I’m super envious of you and Mike. If I ever get back to Portland (for work) for and extended time, I’m lookin’ you guys up for another road trip…. Thanks for sharing.

Splinters – I don’t know lot about the different schools…but, I have always admired Gary Rogowski’s work and he runs the NW woodworking school: http://www.northwestwoodworking.com/. It seems there are always a lot of great courses running and great instructors teaching there. Looks like they list a bunch of schools, small to larger, from California all the up the coast to B.C. You let us know the next time you’re in the area!

Jeff – You better look us up!

Thank you for the link. I took a course from Gary Rogowski on design. He’s really great.

I would love to take a class under Rogowski. I follow his work in FWW and enjoy his general attitude and approach.

I will definitely contact you if I get back there.

I found this site before I found LJ. It is indeed inspiring.
