TRYING TO RETIRE … but life won’t let me!

Phil Pratt – the Master Sawdust Creator

I’ve often heard it said, “I’m busier now that I’m retired than when I was working.” I couldn’t comprehend that as I know how hard I worked for those 40+ years in the corporate world, but now I’m feeling the same way. Is it because as we age, we’re seeing time slipping away faster and faster? Or is there truth to the statement? Who knows? But I’m having a blast devoting time to my hobby … woodworking.

My woodworking projects range from small decorative items such as bangle bracelets and wood pens, lathe turnings and carvings such as natural edge bowls and Volcano Dlshes©, to custom designed retail store displays and furniture. I operate out of my home in Weaverville, NC, (just outside Asheville) and sell direct primarily. Please let me know your interest. If it’s a custom made unit which requires some design, I’ll send you a drawing and we can finalize plans from there. Wish to see my shop? After it has been cleaned of course!
