A Little History:
Our story begins in Pocatello, Idaho, circa 1972, when the lovely Debby Christensen agreed to a first, though fateful date with admirer, David Croshaw. Long story-short, he bade her follow him, and they went arm-in-arm to the Logan, Utah temple for establishment of an eternal family unit, Generation 1, on May 23 1973.
From their first blissful summer in Salt Lake City, educational pursuits took them to Provo/Orem, Utah, birthplace of Leslie and Rebecca, and to San Francisco/Oakland California, birthplace of Colin and Matt. Then, for establishment of livelihood, expansion of the tribe with Abby and Dana, and for raising/unifying of Generation 2, it was back to the roots in Pocatello for a rewarding sojourn.
In time, driven by a raging, but commonly shared sense of adventure and independence, one-by-one, Generation 2 escaped the homeland to distant regions of the country and the world, each ultimately developing their own tribal expansions by pairing with worthy mates and initiating Generation 3.
Now sensing fulfillment of their purpose in Pocatello, Generation 1 has also left those roots and transplanted to Cascade Idaho, from which base, they anticipate more abundant contact with The Posterity, Generations 2 and 3, in the future. That contact however, awaits fulfillment of a call to LDS missionary service in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, wherein they hope to help the state of the world by sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
So now, including Generation 0 (Grandma and Grandpa Christensen) home base includes Yuma, Arizona, Pocatello, Idaho, Cascade, Idaho, Vancouver, BC, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Spokane, Washington, Boise, Idaho, Los Angeles, California, back to Boise, Idaho, and on and on (Generation 3+) to infinity.
Our Mission Statement:
This is the blog of our eternal family unit. Initiated years ago, it served well as a journal, but even more so, as an archive of our personal interaction. It was a gathering place, a confabulation instrument, a unifying force for four generations of widely dispersed and progressively prolific posterity, and their valued associates. Though it served these purposes well for many years, it eventually took a back seat to new-kids-on-the-block, Facebook, and Instagram, and was sadly forgotten.
We now move to resurrect this blog with an added functional purpose of archiving the missionary experiences of Generation 1, of their movements and activities as they participate with The Gathering of Israel in the land northward. In so doing, we hope that via their own comments and posts, this blog will again serve to gather and unify the posterity and their friends.
As in the past, that the young and vibrant may know the old and tired, that enduring bonds may be fostered and maintained, that experience and encouragement may be openly shared, that posterity may embrace truth, and that hearts may be knit together, we must resist detachment despite our geographic divergence. We shall do so here.

That table looks great! You're right, that's a really great looking wood. Is that a semi-gloss finish? I couldn't quite tell from the pics, but it looks really great!

Alex,
My shop has yet to produce anything as elaborate as that furniture. I would say you are doing great work with the shop you've already got. Keep up the good work.
David
Your talent is truly spellbinding, Alex. I could dream of room after room of your furniture if I left myself. Love the clean lines and modern beauty. Truly. A work of art. Perfect name!
Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
David, i mIght be making nice stuff with what i have, but i,d rather have a shop like yours with power tools like yours...very nice and sophisticated. This would make my work easier and the designs would be better. Some day...
David Ch it is a mix of semi-gloss and matte. This helps the wood maintain its natural color and it doesn't look so fake. That's also why I don't use varnishes. I use polybritano (polyurethane?). It also helps them last longer, and its also considered more "green".
Alex, I meant it when I said that you could help fill my house with furniture once I actually have a house to fill. This is beautiful!
your furniture is absolutely beautiful, my dear, I am so proud of you and just wish you were closer. By the way, my front window needs cleaning!! I love you both,
Gram
