Doing What He Loves

Chip loves to work with wood. He loves to make things out of wood especially furniture. And he is really good at it. He made our bedroom furniture. He has made a coffee table and end tables for his folks. My mom has the first piece of furniture he ever made.

So when the oportunity came up for him to build a table he couldn't turn it down. It all started with this couple and a pecan tree in their yard. They had to cut the tree down and decided to put the wood to good use and have a table made. They heard about Chip and asked him to build it. The showed him pictures and told him what they wanted. After working on it for about two weeks (with a some help from his little helper, me!) the final result was a beautiful table. We delivered it this past Saturday and the couple absolutely loved it!

Having watched Chip as he made this table I am truly amazed by his talent. I have a new found respect for anyone who can create things with their hands. Not only furniture, but any works of art like paintings, pottery, quilts, music, etc. The time, talent and effort put into making something beautiful is more than people realize. So to all of you talented people out there who make beautiful things, KEEP IT UP! The world needs all the beautiful things it can get.
