Marc Adams

I just received Karen Clifton's latest post from Karen's Cafe blog at Marc Adams School of Woodworking.

What a happening place for woodworkers! The classes that I've listed below are being taught by some of the world's best contemporary marquetry and inlay artists.

A Great Offering of Woodworking Instructors     

From Karen's post: "We have a GREAT offering of instructors this week at Marc Adams School of Woodworking.

Alf Sharp, Stephen Proctor and Silas Kopf are here this week to lend their genius to students. I know Alf and Stephen fairly well…at least well enough to give em’ a great big hug. Silas I had just met at lunch today..."

Chuck and Cheryl Erikson

I called my friends Chuck and Cheryl Erikson after speaking with Gregg Novosad. I'm happy to report that they are doing great, keeping up with family, friends and community.

                       

                           

The Duke of Pearl

Chuck is exuberant about his business, The Duke of Pearl, purveyor of all things nacreous, testicular and chatoyant. Ever the alchemist, he's come up with another remarkable shell inlay innovation - this one for a Paul Reed Smith limited edition. However, I can only remark on it, since he's promised the scoop to his friends at Fretboard Journal - I'll post the article when it becomes available. As consolation, he sent me some photos of banjo inlays that he did for his friend, who wrote the yuletide hit "Grandma got run over by a reindeer".
