Art Fair piece number 2 I'm calling 'the bowtie writing table.'

Here I am trying to remember the steps involved to make the legs. In the end, I was adjusting the angle in half-degrees to get the apron to fit into the legs.

Come by and check out the final product at this years Ann Arbor Art Fair! Leave a 🪵 if you plan on coming by!

My son back in Leeds, UK is building himself a workshop. He asked for a photo of my tool walls for inspiration. Here's what I sent him.

What do you think of my setup? Would you use it?

More Art Fair projects! Have a look at these stunning pieces of burl weeping willow that my sawyer, John Haling put together for me.

The small book-match will become a coffee table. The large one, along with its sister, will be the back wall of my booth.

I just can't wait to get started on them!

See these designs in person at this years Ann Arbor Art Fair!! Let me know if I will see you there below!
