As the year winds down and the shop gets a little quieter, I just want to take a moment to thank all of you who have followed along, shared kind words, and taken an interest in the work I do. Whether you stopped by for a quick tip or stayed for the long hauls through rosewood repairs and restoration projects, I’m truly grateful.
This community means a great deal to me. The conversations, the support, and the shared love for these old tools have made the past year something special.
I hope this season brings you peace, time with the ones you care about, and maybe even a few hours at the bench. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my shop to yours.
