About The Author
David Delk

David Delk

David Delk has always enjoyed working with wood, ever since his teen years. Naturally, this landed him in the carpentry business. He has over 35 years experience that spans a couple decades of trimming out new construction to his more recent work of designing cabinetry and custom fabrication. Right now, David is partially retired and enjoys taking on select "old school" finish and trim carpentry work. We asked David about any pet peeves. The solitary answer: dull blades.
