The TRUE craftsmanship I have viewed on this site reminds me of the Old World style along with a slight new twist. I’ve been told that I am a very detailed type of person,to some that evidently is a downfall. To others not. However,I myself claim that it’s one of God’s gifts to me,just as trees are to the world. And,to be a true craftsman like yourself, that too is a gift. It’s quite rare for me to overlook the hard work that is involved when designing,creating and building such glorious structures, walls, cabinets, stairwells, furniture and the like. Yet, every piece that I see is greatly appreciated. Knowing that behind the workmanship there were/are steady, patient,caring and skilled hands creating awesome works of art, regardless of the size & quanity. Not to mention the creative/artistic mind with such intense emotion and perfection that is involved. Naturally, one also needs to be keen on the visionary aspects. And it’s NOT always about the power tools. There was a time when I grew up in Los Altos Hills for many years and worked up in SF as a Designer for a number of years. Although,I found myself bored and feeling out of my own comfort zone when working with so much glass,ie.tables…. acrylics, metal and mirrors whilst in the design trade. Nice for subtle touches. I am happy to see that marble, granite, slate, etc. are still a popular choice. I was fortunate to grow up in a large 100 year old estate on acreage.There wasn’t one thing I didn’t appreciate about it. Your pictures reflect the type of craftsmanship that was in our home. I have countless fond memories of that vintage home. Being there during the late 60′s until the early 80′s was glorious. There was so much redwood used throughout the estate and of course, there were dozens & dozens of small & large pane windows. It was one of a kind. Our family held onto the home until the late 90′s until they sold it. Oh how I wished when I was younger that one day I myself could afford to buy it and be able to keep it within the family tree.To me it was like an heirloom, so very special. I had always been drawn to the architecture along with it’s many unique elements. Our family home looked over the vast apricot orchards throughout most of the valley. A place most folks now know as Silicon Valley. Other areas I spent a lot of time at were in Aptos, Santa Cruz, Ben Lomand, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Portola Valley & Woodside. Simply a wealth of gorgeous old & new structures. I was very fond of the Santa Cruz homes & structures.I’m not sure what that era referred to them as. I just know they were great and built to last for all time, with the exception of an earthquake or two. Forever I shall always cherish the beauty, the calmness, the mystic and the peaceful feeling of the quaint towns that I once knew so well. Perhaps, one day one of my dreams shall come true when I find myself living in a century old farmhouse in Tuscany.
Fortunately, it’s quite refreshing to know that there are folks that still love and appreciate wood and the comfort and warmness that it brings with it. And to complete the setting, nothing compares to having a couple of home-made wood rockin’ chairs on the front porch and one or two near the floor to ceiling stone fireplace.
Ron, PLEASE keep up your exceptional work. May all of your endeavors bring much happiness and joy to you and to your numerous clients.
