    As to the Stained Glass Hanging in the window of the shop picture; My wife made that for me for my first shop in the basement of our first house in San Francisco. She took a class on Stained glass making and that was the result. I was quite impressed, as she is not the most Crafty person. I might be overwhelming her in that regard, but she says that she never was. She has lots of other noble skills. She was the Director of the copy editing division of a large Legal Publishing company, for her career. I call her "Connan the Gramarian" She makes me feel like a dunce, with her grasp of grammar and english language. She even copy edits the billboard signs as we are passing them. And she is a member of the Delta Force Apostrophe Police. So you see, I am at a disadvantage in the finer points of civilized living. I gain entry into those rarefied aires by providing them with sumptuous furnishings by which to display their status. And she is a drop dead great cook.

    I do have one and I use it for some of the gingerbread type of moulding that are sometimes used either architecturally or on furniture. Although to be honest, i don't favor that sort of furniture for myself, but I have done some pieces for sale that featured that sort of thing by the customers request.

    Oh my I saw so many pieces of furniture I would love. What a talent you are. Just beautiful. Now some of those would fit just perfect in our old log cabin. Built in the 80's from 6 old 1800's corn cribs and barns...........
