Since writing this post last year, I've worked extensively with some of the purchased wide and thick cherry wood I discuss below. It's very easy to shape and carve. And I love the broad bowls that I can't get with the local wood. But, and but is a really important word here, that Alleghany cherry …
I published this last year, and nothing in my atitude has changed exceept i expect shoveling snow wil be worse.

I'll admit that it's not rational. But for me, it is revolutionary. I spent an entire career heavily involved in communities as an applied anthropologist, editor of a local newspaper, again as an anthropologist, and, more recently, as a director of a local television station.
