    Serpentine Tables

    by Dave McCormick

    Dave McCormick has graced the Featured Piece column once again. I choose my words carefully, because grace is the operative word.  Dave and woodworker extraordinaire Phil Lowe had developed a wonderful relationship prior to Phil's death three years ago. Dave was inspired by Phil's classical woodworking techniques, took classes by him, worked on projects in Phil's workshop, and befriended his woodworking idol.

    Dave's article chronicles a time when he was developing his skill set by taking an early course at Phil's Furniture Institute of Massachusetts in Beverly.  We know from furniture pieces that Dave has built, a woodworking challenge is no stranger to him.  While completing required activities of the curriculum, such as making a simple table, Dave saw a piece he could not deny himself. Take advantage of reading Dave's story called Serpentine Tables for a wonderful, graceful treat

    In order to make the data export used to update the map cleaner and easier I made several data clean-up corrections. For example. I standardized the phone number fields to ###-###-###. I also corrected any State field to be 2 letter capitalized abbreviations.

    After export there were 4 records that could not be mapped. I was able to fix three but on record does not have an address at all.
