Schurch Woodwork

I took a Marquetry class taught by Paul at Marc Adams School of Woodwork last week, and found it to be a totally (just had to use that word for the Californian) awesome experience.
The person that first told me about Paul is himself a very accomplished woodworker. His description included the adjective ‘world class’. World class not only describes the artist/​craftsman, it also fits for the instructor, and the person.
Paul allowed (& actually encouraged) me to take on a project that stretched the limits of the planned program, not to mention my own limits. Paul had the patience to guide (instruct) me through the rough spots, and now I have an approach to things I had previously struggled with (cutting packets of veneer on the scroll saw among others). He could tell when to step in & help, but didn’t help so much that I could still say (& more importantly feel like) ‘I did it myself’.
To repeat, Paul is a «World Class» artist/​craftsman and instructor. He is also a pleasant, friendly & interesting guy to be around ! !
Paul, Thanks for the lessons & Inspiration !
