My two favorite Christmas presents - end grain cutting board and natural edge salad set - are the result of Tom's woodworking talents. So, the "love" part is easy to understand, but what's to hate? Well, not only do I love the beautiful and practical things Tom makes, but I'm pretty fond of him, too! This means that I "hate" the time in the shop that a woodworking hobby involves. Ideally, I suppose, the more I love Tom, the more I'll love knowing that he's enjoying creating beautiful pieces for people to cherish.

| Tom's first bowl |
On the left is Tom's first bowl and on the right and bottom are two of his latest pieces. In the past 3-1/2 years, Tom has journeyed from small, simple vessels to high-end works of art - often with a conspicuous lack of support on the homefront. Honey, I'm proud of you and what you've accomplished!
You can view more of Tom's work in the Plank and Nickel Gallery in Middleburg, The Good Life on Main Street in Front Royal, on facebook -
