I've been an avid woodworker for most of my life. If my experience has taught me anything valuable it’s that there’s always something new to learn from every project. Woodworking can be dirty and demanding at times but it’s also rewarding. For me, it’s seeing someone's eyes light up and the look of joy on their face when I show them the finished product - that's the reward that comes from making by hand. Even  after a tree is felled and milled into boards - it somehow magically maintains itself as a living, breathing part of nature.  I listen to what the wood is saying and something of beauty comes out every time.
