Summary
This recording was made at S.L. Jones’s residence in West Virgina. The conversation sounds as though it was recorded in Jones’s studio and at his dining room table over dinner. Speakers include: Chuck Rosenak, Jan Rosenak, S.L. Jones, and Madeline Miller, Jones’s wife. In the interview, Jones speaks about his former job at the railroad company as a bridge and building carpenter, as well as his religious influences and family life. He and wife Madeline also talk about how Jones’s wood carving career developed and the kinds of materials and tools he uses to do his work.
*Note: Jones’s wife, Madeline, is referred to as Madeline Miller in the transcript. It is unclear if this is the name she preferred.
