One of my high school buddies has been doing some amazing custom/contract woodworking projects the last few years. When I had the chance to visit last, he showed me several furniture pieces with inlays and complex patterns, humidors, and more.
He's started a blog with pictures on notes on some of his projects.
I'm amazed at the patience and craftsmanship that are required for this kind of work. It's worlds away from the software development and bit-pushing that I'm used to, and nothing virtual can hold a candle to it.

Bernie,
Thanks for the extrememly generous words. I wish everyone had an appreciation for what I do like this.
I particularly enjoy building the mountain dulcimer for two reasons. First, it makes me feel great that I can make something that someone else can obtain joy from using. Second, no two dulcimers sound alike because of all the construction variables. Species of wood used, the grain pattern of the wood, the depth of the sides, the type of finish applied and the vibrating string length of the instrument are some of the factors that determine how the instrument will sound.
Hi Bernie and Dustin. It is Andie Treese. I am interested in find out how you guys are doing - it has been a long time. My e-mail is andrea.berlin@clearviewcatv.net.
