The Bishop's Wood

One of the first pieces I made. Still one of my treasured pieces. Still true too.

8 years ago today. This was the first thing I made when I started really thinking I would enjoy making, instead of driving. Rough around the edges, but in this case it's what it means that is all that matters.

Well folks. Some have already heard I'm closing down The Bishop's Wood store in Baldwin. I truly believe what I needed to do here, has been done. So we're moving everything back home to our shop where it all started. We will still make things from time to time. We'll also have cool things on display for sale at the Fabric Peddler. Thank you Jamie!!!
Now it's time to enjoy retirement with my Lynda. Might even get to go fishing sometime. Lol. Now we're building the little cabin we've talked about for years, from the trees on our property. We already have many cut down and are ready to mill with our chainsaw mill. So I started a new TikTok page and if you want to watch and see us stumbling around trying to get it done, that's where we'll be and it would be fun if you joined us on this trip. It's been fun and I'll miss seeing everyone. Well most of you anyway. Lmao
