This is my Dad's class. It's funny-- I didn't really care much about woodworking when I had the perfect opportunity to learn from the master. Of course, when I moved 730 miles away, I got the woodworking bug. I want to try to take a couple of classes a year, if I can.

I made this chair a couple of years ago in one of the classes (the one that Fine Woodworking reviewed) :

<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" oreferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"></v:shapetype>

It has been fun the last couple of years learning how to make fine furniture. I have a long way to go but, I am enjoying the experience.
