My pal Aspen Golann told me a story about a birthday party her mother planned that took place over a couple of days. Somewhere in the middle of the events, little Aspen burst into tears, it was too much birthday. I think about this a lot, especially when all the things I love doing add up to too much. Right now is one of those times. I’m just coming off a rocker class, my house is being reroofed, I’m installing a woodstove, designing a piece with Aspen and finishing off my video series. There’s more, but I don’t want to be overly dramatic. So I decided to pause my substack for a few weeks. This means your subscription will also pause until I return, you won’t lose any time that you’ve paid for access. I can’t tell you what a great difference your support here makes in my life. It enables me to focus on projects and interests that I simply couldn’t afford to do otherwise.

One of the most exciting projects is the barn to workshop construction, which will begin in a few weeks. There’s still lots of legwork I need to do before we get started, but I’m thrilled to get it going.

My main goal in these next few weeks (when I hope to return here) is to wrap up the Temple Chair video and Handbook. Here is a rough edit from the video showing my process for rounding out the spindles on the Temple chair. Thanks again for your patience and support.
