old bridge.

I noticed how the old suspension sections of the Bay Bridge are looking kind of dated and old compared to the flashy new replacement for the cantilever section on the other side of the Yerba Buena Island. The Bay Bridge always looks good though, crossing over to Oakland and Berkeley.

It's sounds quite lovely and exciting (except for the BART part). :) What kind of woodwork do you do?

[duccio]

I mostly make wood panels for artists to paint pictures on. I also make stretchers for them for stretching canvas. Occasionally I do some custom item, or easels or worktables. In the past I made pine furniture in 18th century French style which I taught myself by visiting antique stores in SF, befriending the owners and doing close examination and then making adaptations of the things I liked. I took commissions from people to make things. I stopped doing that in the 80's though, because I started loathing the people I would get commissions from. I finally bought back the commissions, returning their advances. They were "decade of greed" yuppies, and I decided to separate myself from the type and specialize with artists.
