It’s that time of year again folks!
Starting tomorrow evening and going all weekend long, it’s the Eastside Culture Crawl!! Hundreds of open studios to visit and a chance to support your local artists. I’ll be in the studio all weekend so feel free to come down for a visit. We are losing our gallery space next month so there will be some great deals on pieces that we just don’t have anywhere to display anymore.

Sorry if you have not been able to reach me; I ‘forgot’ to turn my phone on while I was in upstate NY for the past few weeks. Trying to get back in the game now.

The world has lost a wonderful and gifted craftsman. Many years ago to kick start my journey as a furniture marker I was fortunate to study under the tutelage of David Charlesworth in the UK.

David taught privately for many years and wrote extensively for Furniture & Cabinetmaking magazine. His books and videos and teaching have touched millions of woodworkers worldwide( but I was his favorite😉). I’ve heard it said that anyone who learned to sharpen from David hears his voice each time they touch blade to stone. He was renowned for his skill in reviewing new tools and it was in his workshop that I helped test new planes and blades for the likes of and . But David was best at just showing what was possible; just how well a joint could be fitted or how perfectly a hand plane could be tuned or how sharp a chisel could be. He showed me at the highest level just what could be achieved if I had the wherewithal to pursue it.

His workshop was a place where friends and craftspeople could stop by and where it was always teatime. After demonstrating some perfect technique he would pronounce, ’put the kettle on, I’m going to walk the dogs’. My time with David changed my life and the lives of my family in the most wonderful way and we had just discussed plans to get back over to visit. Condolences to his partner Pat. May you Rest In Peace David and may your blades always be sharp.
