I
like seeing how a piece of wood develops and what it turns into when
I process it from a rough, log into a refined and usable board.
When we go through the stages
of milling the log, planing, sanding, and finally applying the first
coat of varnish, then I have my reward. To see the grain and color
come out of the wood is truly inspiring. When someone loves one of my
boards, I feel that my work is a pleasure indeed.
