I visited his house one time & said "yea, this is all very nice, but I only want to see your notebooks..." - your new sign is nice and it's carved in WHITE OAK! Good heavens.

Thanks Peter. Well worded and spot on. There is a flow to Dave, full of grace and integrity. What he does in wood manifests it.

Wow, that sign is something else. I feel very fortunate to have been able to sign up for Dave's return visit to your shop in October. I am really looking forward to that week.

I am delighted a phrase I have used as a life philosophy and rule has captured your imagination. It did so, with me, 60 years ago, and I am still exploring its possibilities.

Both Dave and his creations in wood are so very special. His blogs, demeanor and works exude peaceful reflection.

Cheers,

Michael

Amazing all around. Tell us, what does he use instead of a band saw?
