One for a friend

Rob, beautiful work, and if you didn't point out the "art" portions of your craft, no one would notice- you do know that, right?

I've spent a lifetime in carpentry, doing fine finish and cabinetry for a good part of it. I've learned firsthand how the very best craftsmen (and women) are always the hardest on themselves, and usually it's something that won't be noticed unless pointed out, and sometimes not even then.

But we know, and it bugs us.

Your work is outstanding, and that's all I need to know!

Thanks hawk! While I don't consider what I do art - look at someone like Karla Van Horne over at Purdy Gear and have your mind blown.

This is an important aspect of any quality/passion based endeavor. If your critical of what your making it makes progress more rewarding. When comparing to early work it is laughable. The compliments are much appreciated!
