The Team
The most important member of the team is Mike, without him we would have nothing to show on this site. He has always been keen on woodworking, and after a long career in engineering he hung up his suit and donned overalls instead. He had promised to turn some lacemaking bobbins for his wife, and now he spends a lot of time in his workshop turning bobbins and other related items, such as lazy susans, pattern prickers and dividing pins in many native and tropical woods.
Agnes is the "spangler" and saleswoman, which she does between teaching people to speak foreign languages and making lace when she has time to do so.
Son Ingmar is the designer and webmaster of this site.

The fourth member of the team is the dog: a mad Labrador called Megan, who sticks her nose in whenever and wherever it is not wanted! |
