and other stories that herald of a new life ...




here is my little beginning to that conversation ... of a story written with love in a little block of cherry wood...

    Thank you! The longer-handled tools are Pfeil ... they are Swiss and in the US available through Woodcraft and the shorter handled tool is made Flexcut in the US also available from Woodcraft. Another favorite shop is Lee Valley Tools .... they design and manufacture a lot of traditional tools. Hope that help. :)
