We continue to be impressed with the quality of workmanship here. We have three official carpentry teams working on the job: Enrico, who mainly deals with windows and doors with other projects thrown in; Alessandro, who is working on the library bookcase and its associated stairs along with his pal Roberto (a well-known wood carving artist here in Todi); and Maurizio, who is in charge of the kitchen and other furniture/cupboards in the house.
Since a picture's worth a thousand words, I thought you'd enjoy some of the photos I was able to get of their workshops. The first is Maurizio's, for the kitchen:

Next, we have Alessandro and Roberto:
