The first is The Man Who Made Things Out of Trees by Robert Penn, a gift from my cousin Newt who'd received it as a Christmas gift, enjoyed it and knew I'd like it, too.
A second is My Life with Trees by Gary L. Sanders that came to me as a gift from friends in Canada and Stavanger, Norway, Knud and Barbara, who'd enjoyed it also.
A third came from our local Carnegie library called The Trees by Conrad Richter suggested by my wife. It is about the folks that settled the thick forests that at one time occupied about 90% of the US, and the fourth is about the mountain folk and a gift from Roger Beaubien who found it in a used book sale and thought of me, here in in Ozark Mountains and among trees.
You see, I'm not the only one, and perhaps you are as well. We read all about the trees and the people and we try to make a few lovely things. Shown are two student made bandsawn boxes from yesterday's class.
Today I'll try to deliver a piece of work to our local historic museum for a show of local artist works.
Make, fix and create...
