A couple of years ago, I had an idea for a book that I wanted to work on. One of the first people I thought about interviewing for it was Nancy Lou. She is a character, and was most fitting to be the first interview for Character Lines.
Fortunately, I saved the entire interview and now we’re able to use it on Nancy Lou’s new website. Click the forward arrow on the player (below) to listen in.
I read the article about Ms. Webster’s professional woodwork in Elgin in today’s AAS on May 30. She may be the craftsperson I am looking for. Recently I came up with some historical wood with the help of TX Forest Services and now wish to have the live oak pieces made into something arty, functional and of course, historical (1835). Wonder of Nancy Lou can make my wood into letter openers or even a mini-Bowie knife? Some of the items will be sold in an auction or as a fundraiser. Anyway, since cedar wood is primarily used for most of her work, is live oak to hard to chisel and curve into the items I have in mind? Let me know soon. Steve B of Austin
