Default woodworker and billionaire passes away


lifelong woodworker and billionaire ingvar kamprad has passed away
he founded ikea

whether you like or dislike ikea it is an amazing story

knowing really nothing about the company i would guess it has enough
momentum to continue on

what i did read said they do try to use sustainable practices
