Hello Wikipedia readers. I am a retired landscaper, living in the American Southwest, with family roots in Quebec, Canada. I have interests in Navajo sandpainting, woodworking, horticulture, arboriculture and follow the tennis world. I have a PAID COI pichenotte gameboard hobby which has never made a profit, making about a dozen round wooden pichenotte gameboards every year. I own the US Trademark for PICHENOTTE. Basically a one-man company was once called Pichenotte Gameboard Company, then Three Victors LLC, and now is simply called Pichenotte Games LLC. The game is also known as croguquinole, crokinole and knipsbrat and involves flicking small round wooden pucks across a flat shiny surface. Similar to curling on ice. I make them for the enjoyment of making them, teaching others how to play and keeping the tradition of the old time game alive. I also donate them to local charities, so that children and adults have an occasional alternative to video games. I am friends with many Canadian and American wooden game makers and hobbyists and we exchange products and stories about the game. I also want to learn Wikipedia editing, so your help and patience are appreciated.
