Fearful of Maryland cops, the cabbie dumped Calvin at the gate of the Beltsville Agricultural Experimental Station and raced back toward the D. C. line. Without the workday and-parades of lab-coated scientists lacing between the brick buildings, the concrete paths of the station seemed cold as tombstones.
Thus begins the newest writing adventure of one Roy Underhill, famous host of the Woodwright Shop. Calvin Cobb: Radio Woodworker is Roy’s first foray into fiction, and if it is as good as his other writing, we are all in for a treat.
While this isn’t a woodworking book per se, it’s not Roy’s first bit of writing I have fallen in love with. As a public speaker, I have routinely referenced the work he did in Khrushchev’s Shoe, and I would strongly recommend you do the same.
Oh, and my birthday is coming up, so family members, please work together to see if perhaps Roy might be able to send over an autographed copy!
