This is Ken Zoller's second entry for the Featured Piece of the Month.  It's obvious Ken likes to take on new challenges.  It helps when he executes spectacular pieces like his latest piece, the Pembroke Table, as you will see when reading his article.  There's nothing like success for motivation.

Ken's article is also a fine piece.  Ken took pictures while building the table.  As you will see there are many stages and challenges along the way.  Ken has a fine way of describing his process and lessons learned.  Enjoy the read and if you have a moment drop him an e-line.  His email address can be found in the Members directory.
