As the Wood Turns
I spent the day with award-winning wood turner Ken Hager yesterday. Candice and I have been looking at different artisan opportunities for several craftsmen in Uganda, and Ken offered a tour of his work and workshop. Ken and his wife Jean (an award-winning author of more than 60 books) encouraged us as we pursue community development in Uganda.
One of my new life goals is to be as cool as the Hagers. I have years work ahead of me before my CV and life experience looks anywhere near as exciting as this wonderful couple. It looks like I just took on another expensive hobby as well. Anyone wanna donate a wood lathe to well-intentioned 27-year-old?
some neat work there…u sure that’s uganda?

four questions: 1) have you found a wood lathe? 2) if so, could you turn some toothpicks for me like the ones at cracker barrel? 3) when are you guys coming back our way — our way as in east africa? 4) do you think you could bring me something from cracker barrel when you do?
