Curtis is a neighbor of mine, and I must say he is an incredibly humble and friendly man. Not to mention he makes working to better than +/-.0038 wroth hand tools look easy. I strongly encourage everyone to check out Curtis' videos on KZitem, they are fabulous. particularly the one on sharpening a froe. He is truely a treasure of our craft.

I've always hated having a job. I never stuck around with any of them, but now have my own shop and don't have to worry about having a job and since I'm kind of old now I can take afternoon naps whenever I want. I can take my time, charge as much or as little as I want and even make things to give away to folks who have nothing. I've made tables and chairs to just give to total strangers, sell doors to customers and work at my own pace. I couldn't dream up a better way of life if I tried.

Mr. Buchanan the enjoyment I get from watching your videos is immense. Although I am an avid woodworker (hobbyist) I am not a chair maker. What I like about videos is watching the process of making each part i.e., what tools you use, how you use them, the decisions you make, the problems you solve.

kds01071978 The wood itself appears to be stained red. It is a burl, quite possibly for a white hardwood. My guess would be birch or possibly elm? Maybe even Linden?
