The smell of fresh cut wood used to fill my nostrils and the various sounds from the machines (saw, lathe, planner, router, etc) would fill my ears with their melodic tune in a happier moment of my childhood. The scent and sound were my first clues that something interesting was going on behind the curtain that was erected to keep the dust out of the laundry area in the shop.
It seemed to be a very magical place as one could never be sure what would be found on the other side of that curtain. Would it be a toy box? spindles for the staircase? a jewelry box? a wall plaque? paper towel holder? bowls? a truck or car? furniture for a doll house? or furniture that would be passed down from generation to generation in the form of a table, hutch, boot bench, or bed frame? a rocking horse? The possibilities were endless and reality was seldom disappointing.
That's what I experience when I visit CNewcomb's Woodworking studio at ArtFire. Instead of peeking behind the curtain, I just click on my favorites for a quick look at what's on display. My mind asks the question of "What will be there for me to discover today?" and I'm instantly able to experience the same wonder and delight I had as a child, but without the smells and sounds
