To reflect that belief, we have lowered all of our prices in the hope of spreading a bit of beauty and quality to anyone who has an interest in woodworking. Jake is an artist - unique, quirky, inspired, and dependable. His view of the world and the objects in it provides an interesting approach to his high quality hand-crafted furniture, clocks and boxes. He is a pleasure, not just to work with, but to share conversation over a hot cup of coffee on a sun-drenched porch. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Just in case you didn't know, 3-foot thick stone walls store their cold well into June but manage to lose that cold the first warm day in July. There are laws of thermodynamics at work here we have yet to comprehend. Fireplaces in mills are built to burn chaff, and are most definitely not built to heat foolish people who think they can stay warm by them.
If you read between the lines, what that artfully phrased sentence means is am broke. Will do anything legal having to do with wood. To that end, I once refinished 84 cherry side table tops for a hotel; I lined them up on the porch of the mill and elicited the help of my entire family in an assembly-line process.
In seventeenth and eighteenth-century America, your neighborhood furniture-maker was also your neighborhood casket-maker; buryin' was the duty of the community and the minister, and often, if death was unexpected or the weather overly warm, friends of the deceased would help the cabinetmaker build the casket.
