Hello!
I’m a Californian living in Denmark. First question I usually get from Danes is, “Why did you leave California for Denmark?”
And I tell them, “I met a Dane and moved.”
They usually nod in understanding, sometimes with sympathy. Sunshine and warmth is not the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Denmark. Still, it has its charm and beauty (not unlike Michigan), the people are very nice and I call it home.
I’ve been a woodworking since the ’90s. I started with turning ikebana vases and bowls and later focused on furniture and cabinets for work. After giving up my shop tools/machines before moving, I’m gradually building a new one. I want to keep turning as a focus, while growing into other aspects of woodworking.
I like spindle work, like wands, and I’m starting to turn something different. Its shape is inspired by ceramic vessels that Georgians use to make wine.
It’s a fun project, and we’ll see how it goes.
Earlier this spring/summer I had been improving my shop by taking out a horrible carpet and laying down a fresh coat of floor paint.
My lathe station has been set for a while, and at some point I’ll build out the rest of the shop.
At least now with a cleaner floor, Wilbur comes to hang out every now and then.
As for hobbies and interests, I golf from time to time, and during football season I root for the Lions.
Hope to enjoy my time here on the forum.
