Peter...

What a poignant and introspective analysis of your life...few people are willing to confront themselves in such an honest and direct manner. This sense of "genuineness" has been a hallmark feature of your teaching and demonstrations throughout the years....it is what I believe draws so many of your followers as they perceive "Follansbee" to be the genuine article. Thank so much for your willingness to share these details of your life which hopefully will inspire others to pursue a more positive path in life's challenging journey....Mike D.

Thank you for sharing your story. It provides a lot of context for me who assumed you had magically emerged from a fairy circle in the woods, fully formed and bearded with hewing hatchet in hand - stalking Terminator-like to the nearest clothesline and putting on the tie dye you found there. It is amazing how something like green woodworking can captivate a soul and ignite a beautiful career such as yours.
