Well, things just got ugly.

While working on a fresh, easier to use, design with new features, I saved a rejected version of the index page on top of the local copy of the good one and then administered a 'coup de grace' by uploading the mistake, which clobbered my remaining good copy.

That's another lesson learned the hard way. It's going to take some time to get things squared away again, so please bear with me. The net result will be a much more useful web site.

In the meantime, if you are looking for some -really- sharp wooden pens and bowls at a good price point (they make great gifts!), take a look here.

To extend an olive branch during this awkward moment, until November 27 I'm offering a 15% discount on your first purchase over $25.00. Just plug this discount code:

into the 'coupon' blank during checkout and the discount is yours.

Thanks -- Bill
