Craftsmen in the Brazos Valley
July 29th, 2008 Categories: Home Improvement & Design
The Brazos Valley has a diverse culture with an unlimited supply of talented men and women who don’t always get recognized. I have a relative who has a great talent and hobby that I am very impressed with and believe you will be also. This craftsman started out making knives from lawn mower blades when I was about 12 years old. He taught me the basics of knife making and I completed a few not so great examples of a 12 year old’s ability. I spent weekends visiting and saw his talent grow and flourish into works of art that sold in Austin for upwards of $500 per blade. WOW! He then started wood turning and after a few tool removals from the ceiling in his workshop he mastered the art of woodworking, at least in my bias opinion. He is my Brother, Danny Condon Jr., with wife Louise and kids, Alex and Lynn, he turns out some very interesting works of art.
If you like the work email me and I can put you in touch with the craftsman!!
wow…Thats cool!!! I wish I had the patience. Danny is a very talented man.
Where does he harvest the wood?
Lucky to have these guys in the Brazos Valley! Look forward to more photos soon -
He has friends gather it from all over the county, and relatives in other states send him some.
Fantastic work, Joey. I can see why you’re so proud of your brother and his talents…truly amazing! Thanks for sharing!
