Greg Sander, known as the Wood Guy, worked on his lathe at the parish picnic for Our Lady of Presentation in Overland last fall. Sander has come up with a custom-made wide pen that helps special needs children write more legibly.

Greg Sander, known as "the Wood Guy," makes one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture, plaques and other individual items.

A few pieces of Sander's work can be found inside his parish church, Our Lady of Presentation in Overland. "I call that my 'charity' work," he said with a laugh. "I donated them to the parish. The book holder on the pulpit, the oil holder, just some different things that are there."
