Hello, it was nice to read your article in the famous news paper. It looks you are not using lathe in your cane making. I have some very interesting articles on Wood Turning in the 1919 issue of Wood Working magazine.

Hello Sharad,

I would love a copy of that article. You can send it to me. I do hope to do some lathe work eventually, but right now I’m busy using other tools and techniques. Eventually I want to use some fancy joinery techniques to incorporate in my designs. There’s so much to learn and so many combinations to try. I could stay in the wood workshop for a couple decades and not sleep or eat and still have plenty to do.

Hello that shows your genuine fascination for wood working. I will send them soon. The magazine’s name is The WOODWORKER and not Wood Working. Sorry for the mistake.

Hi Meilie,
I just read the article. Very nice piece. I hope that you had a copy framed for your wall.
Our rosewood will ship this Sunday which will put it in Denver in 5-6 weeks. I will keep you posted. Unfortunately the mahogany burl got kicked off the load (something about it being a different species) but Deni saya that there are some nice pieces of the rosewood for you.
Cheers and again, nice job!

Congratulations.

Your recognition is much deserved.
I particularly like how your canes express your own design.
They look like you made them – that is a sincere compliment.

Besides, you have a very pleasant “cane do” attitude.

I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors.
