Who
Am I?
My
wife, Nancy, and I live in the mountains near Hot Springs, Virginia.
I have been making furniture for 10 years. Nancy has had her
own business, Nancy Leffingwell
Enterprises, for 15 years. The
last ten years she has been providing a complete web design/hosting
service.
I
was an aerospace engineer in the early days of weapon system
development and space exploration. I then spent 18 years Commercial
Fishing (red snapper, grouper and king mackerel)
For
the last 15 years I've remodeled and built houses, owned and
ran a bed and breakfast in north Georgia, and made furniture. I've
decided to semi-retire (this means no more
house
building
or remodeling) and do more furniture building. During this same
time frame I studied furniture making and design under a wonderful
furniture maker/designer in Easthampton, Massachusetts, by the
name of Bill Sayre. He was solely responsible for turning an
inexperienced person into a good craftsman.
My philosophy
is - my furniture shall be useful above all. Every piece should
be functional so the owners will use it in their everyday life.
I've
talked Nancy into making a website for my furniture. Please enjoy,
and if you have any questions, please give me a call or e-mail
me.
