![]() ![]() Why would I need to give myself permission to become a full time woodworker? Well there is always pressure from parents and Society to become a “success” in life and here in America, becoming successful is synonymous with “money”. This show which I have entered almost every year since it began, gave me a focal point to see if I could pull off another vessel in time for it.Īs I began working, I reflected on my entire career as a woodworker and realized the greatest gift I had ever given myself in life was the “Permission” to follow my passion at the early age of 21 to become a full time woodworker. The Artistry in Wood Show which is held every year at the Sonoma County Museum in Santa Rosa, announced November 14th as their deadline for entries. The gift was to give myself the time I needed to create a vessel from this gnarly piece of Buckeye Burl that I had purchased well over a decade and a half ago but I hadn’t had the time to create anything from it. My 68th birthday was October 25th and I decided to give myself a gift.
