Shaker box...

I received this Shaker box as a gift for my Fiske lecture on Thursday. Made by NWA craftsman Charlie Goddard, it is a box I will treasure. It is made of jatoba and quilted maple. It is so beautiful, I have to brag upon Charlie's craftsmanship and express my pleasure in owning it.

Today in the Clear Spring School wood shop, my 4th grade students made a gerbil house compete with steps and deck. The gerbils love it, and we were all excited to see how much fun they are having in it.

Make, fix and create...
