A woman in our choir lost her daughter to cancer.  At the reception following the funeral there was a saying, printed on paper and placed on each table.  Once I saw this and read it - I gave to my wife to read.  Our eyes met and she just nodded - she knew exactly what I was thinking.  I had to carve this for her.

 

Here it is.

Beautiful sentiment. Beautiful carving.

What a wonderful thought.

 

That is a fantastic carving. I thought it was done with a laser until I read the heading again!

You have a good heart.

Another great piece crafted from the heart to the hand.

Thanks for sharing the work & the story behind the work.

Beautiful carving depicting some wonderful words.  Thank you for sharing.

Thank you - I have been accused more than once that I use a CNC Router/Laser for my carvings - that is a great compliment!  They are all done by hand, with a knife!

 

A short story, I did a set of Thy Corvette Commandments (I may post them here too) that I set on my car at shows.  A guy argued with me for about 1/2 hour that there was no way that was done by hand!  LOL  So I took another carving I was working on to the next show - he was there so I called him over and had him watch me carve a few letters.  He shook my hand and apologized.

I remember those...those were some of your early work...great pieces.

Got my vote; besides WW'ers here, there are a few "gearheads" besides me.
