Glad to hear that, because there is a line, and we don't want to cross 
it.

Anything wood, where you don't want any modern tool marks, like a 
circular saw or disc sander. You won't find them on my work, because I 
don't use them. I'm a build to order kind of guy. In the past, the 
biggest limiting factor has been shipping costs. I could fashion a 
lovely geteld frame, but who wants to pay for the bloody shipping. I 
made a loft for a lakeside cabin but that was a big ticket item so I 
loaded it and trucked it out myself. Anything you may want made from 
wood in the medieval style. I have made "lasts", the forms for making 
shoes. I'm currently working on some dainties for a wide web loom. I 
just procured a nice Ash trunk and I will be making spear shafts for a 
local gentleman. You tell me what you want, and I'll see if I can 
research it and fashion it.
