Very interesting story dancers ... I really have to get myself to that part of the world. I've wanted to go for years but the one chance I had fell through. Have you heard them playing those drums yet? Thanks for sharing the link & story.


No, I have not heard the drums.............I just saw the article about the tress and thought you may be interested.

I LOVE trees!

Here are a few items "I designed" and made that might give me 'creds' for my moniker. Maybe more another time.

If you download the jewelry box and magnify the view, you can see that I hand-carved the sides of the box with a knife to give the appearance of being woven. The main parts are Mahogany from the Philippines. The wood was salvaged from High School gymnasium bleachers (that wood was an amazing find). It is 13" wide. The top center of the box is Birdseye Maple. The insides are felt lined (second picture). (Unfortunately, when these images were taken some time ago, they were quite dark. But the photography is not my focus here. The woodworking is.)

The "oak stool" top is "book matched" that I cut from a single piece of oak that was quite thick. The legs and stretchers are secured with Ebony pegs (no metal fasteners). The stool is extremely comfortable and we have used it many times as an extra chair at the table when many were eating. The seat is the same height as a normal dining room chair.

Hope you enjoyed my work. Now you know why I call myself "Woodworkerman."

I have often wished that I was male and been able to do such wonderful work!


Dancers you don't have to be male to do woodwork. I do a lot of things though not to the high standard of woodworkerman. my things are a bit more rustic like bird tables, hedgehog houses and door and window frames for my poly tunnel etc. I do enjoy it though which is the main thing and I did it myself... I also have made frames for my pictures.

Glad to know that there are a few of us around that have double addictions. I,like you have woodworking and photography. I channel my woodworking skills to constructing hand made photo frames. I have six of my frames hanging in a federal courthouse. Keep making dust and pics.

Wow! Fantastic work. I could surely never acquire your skill, nor at this stage of my life, your discipline and dedication to a project, but I admire your work and the fact that you have all.
