Hope you guys can make it Charles has tons of cool tools and some great wood, If I was that close I would have visited long before now, I would just like a small keepsake of Charles. |

This made me laugh out loud. I think the solution is build her something with whatever it is you pick up at the sale. |

Wow, that ain’t too far down the road from me. Too bad I’m going to be out of town. Wonder what he’s going to do in retirement? |

Charles is a one of a kind master He has made so many masterpieces they would be hard to list, His most recent project were a number of tables, If I remember right there were 6 total the largest is monsterous (see photo) I told I never take on a project like that, but I’m not Charles and of course he got them all done in spite of being short-handed and other obstacles. He has always amazed me with his know-how, talent, and kindness. |

Man, wish I could visit, if only to see a master craftsman workshop. Not enough time to attempt such a trip. Hope some of the LJ’s get to take home a piece so his legacy could live on with us in some form. |

Even more of a reason to go for me! Wish i was closer. Long way from the land of fruit and nuts though. |
