“I remember Dad was always in his shop. He was building something. Furniture, a hamper, stool, boxes, Christmas ornaments, bowls. You name it, Dad has probably made it!”

The wood comes from the farm and surrounding area; the walnut tree he and his brother played on when they were kids. He belongs to a woodworking club in Stillwater and enjoys working in the garden and improving the land where he lives in Perry, Oklahoma.
