YVelcoiric to another project-packcd issue of Creative Woodworks & Crciftx) We've got a nice line-up of creative designs and feature articles for you to enjoy in this edition. I'm very proud of our designers and writers; they arc definitely an extremely talented group of individuals, and cach one of them has thciT unique style. It's the totality of their work that has made our humble efforts successful, along with you, our loyal readers, without whom we'd te nothing, r.et mc here thank each one of you lor your1 patronage; we sincerely appreciate it. Spccial (hanks to Dirk Boelman for really "pushing the envelope" with his Dragon Box; Dirk draws upon a seemingly inexhaustible fountain of creativity, and this project certainly exemplifies this.

Two issues ago, (our April, '05 issue), 1 promised that another Orchid Davis woodhuming project would be included in this issue. My apology — we were not able to get that material ready for this edition, but 1 promise that Orchid's Red-'lail Hawk will "wow" you in our next one. Oi-chid got a good response to her first project, and we're pleased to have her with us.

It's hard singling out individuals among our team for praise, because everyone is giving one hundred percent and our magazine is succeeding. 1 would, however, like to thank Debbie McCiowan. our Associate Editor, for doing a great job. Debbie started with our March, 2005 issue und has managed to get everything done on time while being an active, involved mom with three young children. Also, I've got to thank Kelly Albertson for his tireless efforts over a ten year period as this company's Art Director, during which he's overseen fifteen different magazines, of which Creative Woodworks & Crafts is only one! Fortunately, Creative Woodnorks & Crafts is the one and only magazine that Kelly pei-sonally lays out, hands-on, cach and evety issue, and for that I atn grateful.

Check out some of the projects (shown below) in our next edition, and until then, health and

Debbie JVkGnwan happiness to you all. Sincc.rcly,
