Woodworking News: Last year was quiet. I built a bookcase for a friend out of solid Bubinga, a strongly figured wood from West Africa that comes from sustainable forests. I also built two desks for a client in the Los Angeles area out of Plybo, made of laminated bamboo. Then there was a boat job. I'm working on a sculpture of the Tree of Life: a female figure coming out of the ground like a tree, with arm-like branches upraised holding a canopy of branches and leaves.
