It was a wonderful experience !! Bill covered everything involved with chair making and made it a fun learning experience. The personal attention he gave made sure that I was able to create chairs on my own in addition to the one we made together. He never pushed me beyond me limits but encouraged me the entire way. I will always truly value the time spent learning this skill set and my time with Bill. Thank you so much for this opportunity and my beautiful chair.
