This blog is a running journal of random thoughts, daily experiences, some potentially useless information, interests, beliefs, causes, dreams and goals... so that we may share in the art of knowing... despite the vast differences in our geographic locations... in an effort to remain close and involved in each others distinctly unique lives.

Grandpa's Workshop

We grew up on an 80 acre wooded plot of land ... and have wonderful memories playing for endless hours on the property. My father continues to reside on this property with my mother, after 49 years of marriage, they are like school kids ... deeply in love.

My father is now retired and is busy working on making each of his four children, six grandchildren and one great grandchild fantastic family heirlooms! He cuts down the trees, processes the wood and individually designs each piece for the person he intends to present the gift of his labor to. He does not use any nails when he constructs a box or chest. They are amazing and the dovetails are perfect!

Each of us cherish his efforts and truly appreciate that the wood came from the trees we planted as children together, climbed on, the woods we ran through, and from the land we grew up on! Below you will see a few examples of the pieces I have.
