Posted by on 7 Jun 2012 in Paul Sellers' Blog | 0 comments

This is my Part III of my Foundational Workshop and so today we start a table in oak. I finished milling the wood and prepping the workshop yesterday with Joseph. I love these workshops so much. it's the people that come that I enjoy the most and as they do come back time after time we develop quite a relationship, which of course is what life is all about.
