		<title>Stone Theory: Art, craft &amp; design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last year or so I have been involved with a local crafts organization called Handmade in America. As I&#8217;ve attended meetings, I have had to get accustomed to being called an artist, a label that I previously avoided. The tag has always seemed too precious to me. Craftsman- my preferred title- has a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radial Steps II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is the beginning of a set of drystone steps that fall on a very tight radius. This is a new challenge and one I&#8217;m truly enjoying. When completed it&#8217;ll be a set of eight steps that lead to a patio that I&#8217;ve nearly completed.

Here&#8217;s another view of the tight radius, from the inside. Not [...]]]></description>

		<title>New panoramas and a marketing class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is a photo montage/panorama of the steps I built this past winter in the Montford district of Asheville. The step treads are made of the full-color variant of Pennsylvania bluestone. The wall, columns and step risers are made of granitic gneiss, mostly from the Hooper&#8217;s Creek quarry in Fletcher. The steps and columns are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Latest project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently started a new project in West Asheville, building a drystone patio under the deck of a new green-built home. In this image sunlight filters through the decking. I&#8217;m using a sandstone, presumably from Tennessee. I&#8217;ve switched suppliers recently and am pleased with the colors and durability of the stone.

		<title>Radial steps, in the newspaper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I spent most of the winter in the historical Montford district of Asheville, building a set of radial stone steps, three big columns and some drystone retaining walls. The house is featured on a tour from HandMade: The Western North Carolina Craft, Architecture &#038; Design Expo taking place June 25-26 at the N.C. Arboretum. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recent patio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I recently finished this small drystone path and patio behind an Asheville residence. The patio is square, but the perspective of the photo makes it look like a trapezoid.

		<title>Bench Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weekends ago, I led a workshop at the NC Arboretum on building stone benches. First thing in the morning we studied images of various benches, stone-cutting techniques and ways to move heavy objects safely and with relative ease. Safety was a recurring theme throughout the day. After the classroom presentation, we went [...]]]></description>
