Since retiring…
I have renewed an old passion, woodworking, and having acquired a few new tools, I have begun a journey into veneering and inlays.
With each new piece, the work has evolved into more intricate designs and I am never sure where it is going to lead me.
I just start cutting and let the pieces fall where they may.
