Teri & Steve LeGrue

WHO WE ARE:

The Cutting Edge is 11 years old! It was opened by my wife and me, Teri and Steve LeGrue, to serve the needs of woodworkers who demand the finest hand tools the world has to offer.

Like many of you, I came to woodwork as a release from my career. For 16 years I was on the faculty of The University of Texas Health Sciences Center, where I did cancer research and taught Biochemistry & Immunology. I discovered woodturning in 1987, and I have never looked back. I have turned hundreds of objects and shown my work in galleries and fine art shows around Texas and the Southwest. I have been a member of the American Association of Woodturners & the Gulf Coast Woodturners Association for over a decade. I'm also a member of the National Woodcarvers Association and several local carving clubs.

We opened our doors in November 1993 to serve our turning and carving friends. Since then we have established ourselves as a resource for woodworking hand tools and machinery. We hold evening classes in turning, carving, furniture and box making, and cabinet making.

Our commitment is to carry only the finest in hand tools and power equipment. To this end we were the original distributors of such fine new tools as the eccentric ball-and-socket chuck by Jean-François Escoulen and the Stabilizer Deep Hollowing System made by Lyle Jamieson. We have selected the best tool lines in the world and offer them to you at a fair price, with the knowledge that we have experience with these tools and can help you to get the most from them. Feel free to call or write us and we will be happy to answer any of your questions. If you don't see it in the on-line catalog, call and ask because I can't begin to show you everything we carry! And thanks for supporting a small, family-run business!

As many of you are aware, my wife Teri passed away in February. My thanks to those who have expressed their sympathy to my family. If you knew Teri you loved her. She is missed.
