Bus-abilities: Person of Interest #1

Mr. A goes to a woodworking cooperative in Burnsville.  He pays $240/yr for unlimited use of their tools.  He purchases wood through the cooperative to save on trips to the hardware store.  He says their wood prices are about half what he would pay elsewhere.  Onto the bus, he carried a few scraps of wood from his latest project--a cutting board.  Made of elegant dark wood squares, perfectly fitted them perfectly, their tight grains weaving a checkered pattern.  It was such a wonderful work of art, he exclaimed, he may not give it to the person who commissioned him.  Clearly, Mr. A is an able experienced woodworker.
