Default Flying High
My nephew recently graduated college in Theology, and is now taking pilot lessons. He recently flew his first solo flight, so this is sort of a combo gift.

That's a great carving and a greater gift; your nephew will be pleased! Have you named the carving yet?.....................How 'bout "The Flying Father"?

Hi Mike,

very nice carving. Since he just graduated, how about "Soaring to new heights" or "Father earns his wings?"

Anyway, it will mean a lot to him.
