Well... I know how everybody here likes pictures, so there are alot in the next few paragraphs.
A few years back, my dad recieved this segmented box from a patient's husband who miraculously reovered from cancer (my Dad's a surgeon).

Notice the matching table/sideboard. My grandfather has been a woodworker ever since he retired from dentistry. He's since gotten into doing stained glass work. He made this segmented table.

I know. This patient's husband must have been in our house before and had seen the table. No. It is solely a coincidence and he was baffled when he brought the turned box to our house to see it match the table so greatly.

This man, who has since passed away, did some flat work too! (I know... can you believe it... he actually strayed from the abyss!) This is a menorah he made for our family after my dad operated on his wife a second time...

So there you have it... http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/gif/4.gifpictures and a story of a great woodturner/worker.
Hope you enjoyed.
