    Thank you.
    Your work is fantastic,I do no carving as that takes an artists eye which I do not have,but I have done some furniture pces that have taken over a year to do.When done, I am never 100% happy with anything I do.
    The things I make are never perfect as I work with natural materials, most of the time,nothing in nature is perfect,really upsets me sometimes.
    Sometimes I may spend 10 hrs on a brush handle,than end up throwing it in the trash Bin.

    I think Bob hit the proverbial nail on the head. I do love what I do. And as it's been said that if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life. Well I can't say my entire life but at least the last 25 yrs!
    Thank you guys.

    Not joking but the town of Nazareth is 15 min. North of here!
    I don't drive to get there I just take a short cut and walk across the river.
    OK, that part was a joke!
