Here's My Stuff!
by Harold Burrows
Williston, TN
When I took down a 600' weathered, lichen covered three board cypress fence I made a few pieces
for a relative's Wyoming cabin. In addition to a lamp table, I made a wall coat rack and coffee
table/bench.
In 1987 I inherited a piece of repaired soapstone, probably originally from a washstand. About that
same time I tried my hand at making dentil build-up molding and fabricated it to fit under the
soapstone. The soapstone and molding laid around my shop for twenty-two years until I finally
designed and made the walnut cabinet to fit under the molding. I prefer my own designs over project
plans. The walnut I used had been in my workshop for more than thirty-five years. Who says I'm a
procrastinator?
