As a small boy, I did not have a typical set of wooden blocks to play with.
 
Instead, my whole world was wood blocks.  My father was a custom furniture maker, having learned his craft in Holland.  On Saturdays, my Dad would take me to his shop.  While he worked, I would build all sorts of houses, buildings and cities with his left over pieces of wood.
 
A few years ago, I visited a friend at his commercial store fixture, fabrication facility.  During a tour of the plant, I noticed an abandoned pile of scrap wood, ready to be discarded.  As I starred at this pile of wood, a memory rekindled.  I asked my friend if I could have some of the pieces wood to play with in my studio
