Cabinet Maker

surfaces
hand-planed and
dovetail-joined …

with deft hand
he pets his
creation

uttering
craftsmanship
ain't dead yet.

Thanks for sharing and for participating in my contest. I could see this carpenter at work. It also reminded me of Jesus who was a carpenter following in His father's line of work until He reached the age to go out on His ministry. It also reminded me of the creation of all that is. Sara

This is a nice surprise to start Monday! Thanks for your favorable opinion, and more thanks for your time and effort putting this contest together. And many, many more thanks for introducing me (and others, I guess) to this fun and challenging form. Thanks!

And thank goodness for that David. Handcrafted is still the best IMO. Congratulations on your win! :)

Yes, very frustrating. And, so little made in the USA. When I find it, I'm willing to pay more!

Thanks, Linda. Isn't it frustrating to go shopping but not find quality products? My wife and I are learning some woodworking because of that ... I hope the "old dogs, new tricks" adage isn't true.
