"I love making furniture, but you can't ride furniture down a mountain." So says Darrick Rasmussen, woodworker in Ventura, California. It's a fantastic place for a woodworker to ply his trade, full of other people who are creating beautiful things with their hands.

Rasmussen's journey to becoming a woodworker started when he was just a kid, staring at old furniture at the flea markets he used to visit with him mom. He grew up in Orange County, surfing and skateboarding with occasional trips to the mountains. The latter would eventually lead him to his love of making wooden snowboards.
