I keep very busy and these posts will help keep up-to-date on what's going on.

 

Article in Minneapolis Star Tribune, June 22, 2014

July 4, 2014 George Wurtzel

The June 22, 2014 issue of the Minneapolis Star Tribune carried a feature on me and my shop here on Stevens Avenue south.  I was on the front page of the Variety Section  as well as most of page 7. When you visit their web page and search for "George Wurtzel" you get the article, a slide show of photos, and a really nice video.

I was so happy to meet Kristen Tillotston and her photographer Elizabeth Flores from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.  We spent part of two days talking about woodworking, my shop, my life and my philosophy of life.

 Their videographer, McKenna Ewen, and I both discovered that we (as well as very many people) are extremely allergic to dust from Mullberry Trees.  WARNING- Don't cut up or turn Mullberry wood especially inside it is dangerous.  The dust caused me to have serious flu-like symptoms for several days.
