Good day folks, I'd like to open up a topic of support for our Patriot Woodworker and very talented turner @Big B. Big B is a Navy Veteran with an absolutely beautiful family and a very wonderful talent in the turning craft.

Brian has been recently diagnosed with Large Cell Lymphoma, and he is currently going through Chemo treatments and by the looks of Brian he is dealing with it all pretty good, and I am sure his incredible circle of family and friends are a great support to him.

Brian may not make it here as often as he would like, but I have followed his work on Facebook and there he is also keeping us all up to date on his progress and treatments.

 

Lately, he decided to get with the times and sport a new hair-do! He decided to shave his hair off and be fashionable

 

 

Here is Brian with one of his best friends on his lap, an older image a year ago

 

 

Brian is a fighter, and he appears to be doing fantastically through it all, with his best furred friends at his side, and his family and friends, he's going to beat this sucker into remission and come out looking better than before, any of you Navy vets out there know that a little boat rocking aint gonna keep ya down!

 

Just a little look at some of Brian's talent:

On behalf of myself, and my family, Brian you are in our prayers for a speedy recovery in this journey, and to see you keep turning the wonderful craft that you do, you got this Sailor! And Brian, if you happen to read this topic for you, I actually like the new look you have!

 

On a side note to our folks here, keep your sorry's to yourselves, Brian don't roll that way!

 

Lastly but not leastly, Brian needs help in paying his medical bills, he and his family would be completely grateful for anyone who wishes to donate, you can do so at this following link:
