If Doug will have you it would be well worth the trip to see his shop. I built my share of frames in the early 80s and I can tell you that without a doubt Doug builds some of the most beautiful frames you have ever seen. (Doug, I remember you from RAGBRAI. Sorry for the shameless plug)

Doug is also one of the best painters you will ever meet. In fact, I believe I have heard him say on several occasions that he considers himself a better painter than framebuilder.
