Retired craftsman finds more solace in woodwork
Tabor, who avoided WWII draft and served in Japan, spent 52 years as a plumber before turning to woodworking. He built furniture for four great grandchildren, began after his granddaughter picked a magazine project, and earned second place in a regional carpentry contest. He says retirement isn’t for him as woodworking is more satisfying than plumbing.
