UNIONVILLE: Kinloch's annual open house

On Saturday afternoon I stopped by Kinloch Woodworking's annual autumn open house in "downtown" Unionville and, as always, had a wonderful time socializing and seeing Doug Mooberry's breath-taking furniture. Barb Pusey was there with her granddaughter, Jessie Mooberry, who was visiting from Istanbul, where she is working to promote humanitarian uses of drones. I also got to catch up with Anna Myers and Diane Thierry for a few minutes.
In addition to his beautiful tables, tall clocks, spice chests, mirrors and stools, Doug showcased two unusual pieces this year: a Wharton Esherick-inspired curly-cherry desk that opened into a self-contained, fully fitted office, complete with drawers, lights and a chair, and a remarkable wall hanging made from Paulownia wood that resembled a shark.
The wall hanging, made of wood from a Paulownia tree, looks like a shark.
