This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

danish oil, dovetails and rocks...
And of course walnut. Today I applied the first coat of Danish Oil to the walnut bench, and I am beginning some simple tables combining walnut with natural edged spalted maple. I brought the wood in from the barn and look forward to making the first cuts. There are certain advantages that come with experience. At one time I might have agonized over design before starting. Now I plunge in. And the results are more creative and spontaneous. Stay tuned for the results.
