It’s full circle, the beginning of the oak and the new beginning as art.

I allowed myself a little daydream about some day having one of these wonderful things to treasure. You are a true artist Huw and it is lovely to see someone so happy at their craft.

Thanks too GA, the blog is a “good deed in a naughty world”.

Certainly Hugh shares with him a similar passion and talent! But I would agree the question is academic. The carving speaks for itself.

What talent, what beauty!!
