This spring, Pete made a new custom-designed bench for a friend who owns greyhounds.

This design was a real group project – first a photo was contributed by Rachel Hogue, then Pete’s daughter Jonni Good turned the photo into a line drawing. Then Xan Blackburn simplified and improved the drawing so it would work well as a mold for the bench top. And, finally, Pete carved the drawing into a new MDF mold with his power carver and a chisel, and then poured the new custom-made bench.
