April 7, 201412 yr I got a call a few weeks back from the Mayor or our town. He wanted three maple pens and a two of my small cutting boards. So I delivered them to his office last Thursday morning along with three display boxes I got from Woodcraft to put the Maple pens in. I just didn't have time to make the boxes and these looked so good with the pens. He and the Governor or Alabama along with the Secretary of Commence are on a recruiting trip to South Korea and Japan to talk to several businesses about locating in our area. My items were taken to present as gifts to those dignitaries they will be meeting with. Wow. Quite the honor to have my items selected to go along on this trip and very humbling. Many of things could have been selected from the many artist in our area so I humbled and honored to have my items selected. Here is our Mayor with me presenting him the items.
April 8, 201412 yr John my friend, congratulations! I bet Woodcraft would be proud to know their boxes are heading on a goodwill mission too!!! You make an impression every where you go John, and folks notice, and folks appreciate you and who you are, and your work, it does not surprise me at all that they would think of you to make these gifts, and I am personally completely proud that you are here, on The Patriot Woodworker, for it also represents the caliber of folks we have here, thanks John, and great job man!!!!
