    Default a precious gift from down under...

    I got a very special gift in the mail today, here in Arkansas, and I am so very honored to own a pen made by one of your wonderful young woodworkers. Thank You, Funky Chicken!

    I've posted an entry and photo on my blog in commemoration of this fine gift. I showed my students at Clear Spring School and they are in awe.


    I turned 60 last Saturday and it is great to know that as some of us age, and maybe mature a bit, there are young men like Funky Chicken ready to rock.

    Wendy, are you making me a desk? I think the shipping would be too much. And I'm already overwhelmed with Andrew's pen.

    I enjoyed looking at your tools for sale. It is obvious that you have wisdom in your hands. Keep up the great work.

    No, not a desk, but something a little smaller that will make shipping easier, oh and you'll be able to carry it with you where ever you go. But if you are anything like me it will probably sit in the shed, get covered in dust many times over and be used nearly everytime you are planning another project.

    Wendy, Now I am very curious. It is not a desk. That is a relief. After finishing the projects for my rustic furniture book and DVD, I am completely out of room. But if it is useful in the wood shop , I will use it and enjoy it and think of friends from down under as I do so.

    Very best,

    Doug
