This week for Woodworker Wednesday, GF is proud to present Fred Rossi of Rossi Custom Woodwork! Fred creates custom furniture like outdoor lawn furniture, tables, desks and more!

Freds work is unique because he caters each individual wood piece so it will be as natural and beautiful as it can be. He explains, Every time I plane a shaving off a plank, no matter how gossamer thin, the piece of wood is revealing a sight no other person has ever seen.
