I've spent a lifetime working on furniture - and it isn’t over yet. At the age of 14, I had a part-time job working for a fine arts dealer. One day she sent me out with an antique Queen Anne rosewood chair (the surface covered with smoke and soot) and a bucket of denatured alcohol. As I washed it down, the gunk drizzled off and revealed gleaming rosewood underneath. My life was forever changed. Since then I've learned a wide variety of skills not only in woodworking, but in finishing. Most people fall into one or the other - but rarely both. I'm a curious blend, I suppose!
