If it s made out of wood, I m your man. But woodworkers are practical people. I like things you can handle and see, that you can measure, cut and saw. I m not much for ideas. Oh, I enjoy listening to the rabbis when they come to our synagogue, but I prefer more practical things.
Wood is honest.
Now, I don t want to insult you, but that sounds dishonest to me. No, I like things that are wood right through. Wood has integrity. The other thing that shaped my life was Mary. She was about 13 years old then, the usual age for becoming betrothed.
