As the proud new owner of that particular piece of art I can tell everyone it is truly a remarkable piece. My wife and I pass it on our way to work every morning and cannot help but give it an admiring glance looking for the resident. Thank you ever so much...
Hey John, gotta say a big old thank-you for the piece of that bark you gave me. If I ever get the time to try my hand at it I will post some pics. Nice to see you and get to to talk to you buddy.
