    Death of long-time contributor: Carl Eyman

    It gives me great sadness to announce that Carl Eyman, a long time participant in Sawmill Creek, died yesterday. About a year ago, he felt it necessary to close down his shop and sell all his tools. Then, last October, he and his wife, Leslie, moved into an assisted-living facility in Terrytown, which is the west bank of New Orleans.

    I'm so very sorry to learn that Carl passed away. I communicated with him several times about early American furniture. He was very knowledgeable and always a gentlemen. He'll be missed.

    I didn't have the pleasure of being a member when Carl was active, but obviously he left a legacy. Condolences to his wife and family.

    Sorry to hear of Carl't passing.
    My condolences to his family.

    Carl was a wonderful guy. I once asked a question on this forum about building a grandfather clock. Carl not only responded ,but sent me, at no charge , a book on making clocks and several plans for grandfather clocks.
    I will miss him. If his website is still up take a look at his work, it is truly incredible.

    RIP Carl, best wished to the family in this difficult time.
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    I took a look at some of his work. His legacy will go on for many a generation. If he was trying for that he sure succeeded. RIP
