Welcome to Wood Talk for Woodworkers by Woodworkers.

Now here are three guys who are actually under the illusion that

woodworking is cool.

Mark, Matt, and Shannon.

All right, it's Wood Talk Number 362 for March 3rd. 2017, can't believe we're already in March,

can't believe it's the weekend. It just, it feels like a Monday to me so weird maybe I just

realize what's going on yeah it's the weekend show wake up man we can you don't

have her coffee oh my god I was sleeping here on my desk all week. You've been sleeping all week long. You fell asleep on Monday and now it's Saturday. Unbelievable. Okay, so today's show we're going to talk a little bit about going out on a limb with design.

And I think that's a good thing. I think if you're pushing limits, you're going to polarize people, you know,

and it'll be divisive decisions, design decisions that get worked into your projects and you
