Workbench for the Henry Boyd Exhibit –
Today we started work on the workbench for the Cincinnati Museum Center’s new permanent exhibit, “Made in Cincinnati.” Our workbench is supposed to represent what woodworker Henry Boyd (1802-1886) might have used at his furniture business.

‘Jennie-isms’ from ‘Make a Chair from a Tree’ –
