You may never think of yourself as a
"true" woodworker. However there will definitely be
signs that everyone
else around you does.
Myself, I'll be the first to admit that I'm no
Maloof, David Marks, Chris Pye, or Wood Whisperer ( What is his name again? ) . Sure, I've made a living off of working with wood for the past 6 years and I try to blog about it on a daily basis, but the REAL proof that I am now worthy of a title is when your relatives give you all
kinds of books about wood because you're the
"wood guy" in the family. Now I'm not trying to be ungracious, in fact, I kinda like it. however, there is usually not much I can learn from the beginner books,
YET I just
can't find it in my heart to
throw them away. Like those small scraps of wood you have after a project.
You just never know when they will come in handy. Well. I may have a few projects coming up this week. Cheryl wants me to build another display item for an upcoming show. Luckily, I have some scrap plywood still in my possession that may do nicely. Hope everyone has a great week!

cheryl is super lucky to have a "wood guy"! I wish Riley could build wonderful displays for craft shows!
Yes, people don't understand that you have surpassed the simple stuff. In any field you stand longer at a book store to find the books that meet your level of achievement. As an art teacher, everyone kept bringing me their old art history books that they had in college. i am old enough that I could write an art history book of my own.
