Here's where you come to follow the progress of your piece of furniture in the shop. No, wood doesn't talk--or does it? Sure it does! As we work on your piece we learn things about where it's been, how it's been used, maybe even who (or what) has used it, and often about where it came from originally. It's a lot of fun and typically quite interesting.

This space also gives us a chance to let you know about any special experiences or progress related challenges. We try to chronicle work completed on your furniture whenever anything significant occurs. So there may not be an entry every day, but when we document them, we hope you will find these journal entries are fun, informative, purposeful, and creative.

So, have fun "listening" to our dialogue with your piece, as it is, it's Wood Talkin.

Post Surgery Update

Hi,
Welcome to WoodTalkin.
Here's a fun little Limerick that explains what's going on for me and the shop right now: 

"Patience is a virtue. Possess it if you can. Seldom found in women, but never found in man."

 The first week in September I had surgery on my left thumb. It  repaired a painful bone-on-bone joint. Then I awkwardly worked through the fall completing customer's projects right up until Thanksgiving.  The 1st week in December I had the same surgery performed on my right thumb--my dominant hand. Now,  with both hands at less then 60%, just tying my shoes has become a whole lot harder!


I haven't been able to get back in the shop to get things going again---yet.  But I'm evaluating my progress week-to-week and daily.... impatiently.  Don't hesitate to call me! I can come to your home,  do estimates, and we can discuss costs and options for the projects you might want me to tackle. I'll put your project on the jobs board and into the work que. Then we'll be ready to go as soon as I get the anticipated double Thumbs Up. Yaay👍👍.

Thanks for your patience!
