So far I have been silenced with awe at your skill and the quality of the results. But I am watching. Mine has been a life of reading, writing, editing, teaching, mediating—so imagine how amazing to me is your work. When I see even a small piece on a lathe, I understand the process, the physics, but it’s still somehow magical.
