On the cover of Lee Valley!  click here

Since getting my first Lee Valley catalogue in 1978, it has been a dream of mine to one day make something worthy of an appearance on a Lee Valley cover.  I'm absolutely thrilled to have finally achieved that goal!  To work in wood is a pleasure unlike any other and I feel fortunate and proud to have lovespoon carving be my little place in the woodworking world!
