From the editors desk Creativity Makes the Magazine As I sii down to write this editoria, I'm struck by this theme: the quality of each issue of Creative Woodworks & Crafts is directly proportional to the creativity and skill of our contributors. Based upon this, I must express my gratitude for the great loam of designers and writers with whom I work. Issue after issue (and this one's no exception) we manage to assemble a good selection of projects and articles, and it's all because of the talented folks who share their boundless creativity with us. It's tough naming names, because as soon as I cite one name, I'm not naming another. However, a few special kudos are in order. One guy simply must mention is my good friend and long-time assoc'ate, Dirk Boeiman. f you've already me- him, you know what I moan when I say that this guy's aboul as nice and as positive a human being as you can possibly meet, and then there's his creativity—just when I think, "What's Dirk going to do to top his last project?" he not only tops it, but docs it in a totally unique and surprising way! Dirk's been working with us for well over ten years, and I mean il when I say he's one of the rocks upon which our house is built. In this issue he designed two great projects around a couple of ?" Dia. dock inserts 'hat I sent him. Dirk's motto is. "Yes, can," and he always does! Anc then there's Sheila Bergner, who many of you know through her extremely popular forest leaves pattern collection. Sheila's just so talented, and over the years she's really learned to focus her talents at will to accomplish whatever's needed at the moment. This issue's Kitly Dish is simple, fun, and functional. For our next issue, Sheila designed a great Iriple-leaf horse pattern exclusively for Creative Woodworks & Crafts, and I'm sure many of you will appreciate it. Larry Goodwin, our Cajun intarsia maven, has a major presence in I his issue—a tour of nis shop, the plans for his hardware storage cabinet, end his "Hatching" intarsia project. Larry's go- n's own magic touch and is also a very positive individual. I have many more names I could menlion, but for now i'll name just one more: William Hansen, my Associate Editor. Since taking on his new job three issues ago. William has proven invaluable in many ways. He's the guy who goes over every project with a fine-tooth comb, making sure everything is correct and in order. You all know how frustrating "little" mistakes can be in this business, and we're lucky lo have someone as bright and thorough as Wi! iam in our corner!
