    Your brother does nice work. Couldn't ask for better design or execution. If I remember correctly he is in Up State New York, I hope the folk with deep pockets are supporting him.



    Bill, over here on the left coast

      Some say craftsmanship could be genetic.

        Cabman, it is in this case. One of our grandfathers was a master machinist. If he were a woodworker he'd be a Norm Abrams. The other was more of an artist. If he were a woodworker he'd be David Marks. I'm much more a Norm Abrams type myself.

            His work should be in a gallery.

              Neat, original work. Could become failure well know some day, if he isn't already.

                He's not a failure yet, he's not really gotten started. He finished woodworking school this past May. Some of his work has been in a gallery of sorts already. He won an art show last year and sold a few pieces in Asheville. He also has sold some smaller things - turned bowls mostly - at a store here in Durham.

                    I love that Enkatsu Table. That work is just inspired.
