Well, maybe some wood is bad - but still has beauty within...
Hank Gilpin has been designing and building fine art furniture for almost 30 years. A native of Connecticut, Gilpin graduated from Boston University with a degree in photojournalism. He served in Vietnam as an army photographer, and returned to the States with the intention to study photography at the Rhode Island School of Design. A random choice of electives led Gilpin to woodworking, and his first teacher (and future mentor) was Tage Frid.

Okay - now that I am inspired - off to make something with these spalted maple logs - if only I had a woodmiser...
