Vic, I don't know who enjoyed your story of the life of a tree, from trunk to cabinets, more...me or DH. He had a full woodworking shop before we moved to Hawaii. Rather than store it, he sold it. He planned to replace them when we returned to the Mainland. He has replaced some, but he's also sold some. Years of smoking have taken a toll, and his cranky wife fussing at him for breathing sawdust probably also keeps his woodworking to a minimum now.
We both loved looking at your workshop and all the neat machinery. It's amazing to see the actual process of converting a log to a board.
(P.S., our garage shop never looked that neat!)
Sharon, I love the heirloom pieces. I have a few treasures of my grandmother's, but nothing of my parents. My mother loved to buy new things and give away the "old stuff."
