I love the smell of sawdust
Betty J Poltrack
My mother has always enjoyed woodworking. I still use some of the bookshelves she built for us in the 1950s. When she learned that she was going to become a Grandmother, she signed up for an adult education class in woodworking and built a number of wooden toys and two doll houses. Those items are being displayed at the Whipple Free Library in New Boston for the month of February.

These toys have gained a lot of playtime. My children have outgrown them, but now are a popular item with Alexander, Betty’s great grandson.

The library staff was kind enough to provide furnishings for the dollhouse that Betty built for my daughter.

The little children that come for the reading group only want to play with the doll house and wooden cars!
