Emily returns to Crow Point in Walpole for a visit with Barnaby Porter, woodworker and essay writer. They look back at a point in time when two of his greatest joys ~ exploring the natural world and making things in his wood shop ~ merged into an amalgamation of sheer whimsy and wonder. Have you ever imagined what it would be like to live inside a hollow tree?
