fascinating and some have done
quite well with it. He taught two
classes last year and plans to go
back this year.

work in a number of shows in
and around Martinsville and
Henry County as well as at some
of the national shows sponsored
by the Marquetry Society of
America. He has made at least
100 pictures, mostly during the
winter, he says.
