I was really excited to learn a couple of months ago that George Walker would be writing a new column for Popular Woodworking starting next year. While I have been fooling around with classical design for the last few years, it was George's articles in Fine Woodworking, Popular Woodworking, and most recently, his DVD on design, that really have helped me to refine the way I design pieces. It's obvious from watching his DVD or reading any of the past articles he has written that he has spent a lot of time studying this topic, which in my opinion, is an under appreciated aspect of our craft.

Today, I was pleased to read the Woodworking Magazine blog and find out that George now has his own blog to complement the column he will be writing for Popular Woodworking. The blog is called Design Matters, and if his first post is any indication of what's to come from the blog or the Popular Woodworking column, I for one am looking forward to his future content.

His first article is going to be on proportioning a raised panel door. If you've been following my blog for awhile, you might remember my two posts on a similar topic. I'm very curious to see how similar our two methods are and how they differ. I eagerly await the new column.

Kudos to Popular Woodworking for seeing the opportunity with this fascinating topic and leading the way, yet again!
