th my friend Matt and my father-in-law George. We built it in George’s basement. He has all the tools, which was nice. We went over there every weekend for about two months to complete it. It is made from solid cherry and is held together with dowels. The finish is Danish oil and General Fin...
Howdy Marc! This is the cutting board that I e-mailed you about (expansion issues). I worked on this for quite some time and wanted to send you the pictures. I would have posted them before Christmas but my girlfriend might have checked out your site! It’s an end grain mahogany cutting bo...

I am happy to announce that the books have arrived from the printer! So that means we will begin shipping all the pre-orders this week. Since I promised to sign each and every one, it may take a few days to get through them all! But the “shipping department” is coming over for dinner to...
