Wood is dirty and nasty. I didn't want to mess with it in the house.

We are so lucky that the damage was so confined. With the wood shop and its sawdust, which is so incendiary, and the fire under the bleachers it could have been far worse.

Some people have a specific plan when they start out. I like to put a piece of wood on the lathe and have an idea of what I think I want, but design something as I go along.

Not too many people have tried marbling on wood. You turn the cover, and there is marble paper.

[Some customers, such as Bill and Jan Wright of Woodstock, use a wood stove to defray their winter heating oil bill.] I wish it were lower, ... We're retired.

It's not humanly possible to have every piece of plastic and scrap of treated wood out of the waste.
