| Introduction | I am a studio furniture maker carrying on a tradition of my father and grandfather before me. Now that my son has shown interest in following these footsteps as well I have created this blog as a means of documenting some company history and pointing out some of the many lessons I have learned along the way. There are also some prescient and funny stories to share about the many furniture projects we have done over the years. In tandem with this I have also been involved in "green" and sustainability issues for well over 20 years. This has given me a perspective that is not always consistent with the conventional mainstream. |
