Default A Blind man carved this
As a lot of you know Ron Davidson of this forum and I are good friends. I had the occasion a few years ago to meet him in WV when I went down to visit Garry. Well Ron was supposed to meet with me at Chazfest this fall but due to some unfortunate circumstances it did not happen. Ron was bringing me a carving that he had done just for me as a gift. I would like to share this carving with you I just recieved it in the mail from Ron. If any of you were to meet Ron you would realize that this man is not disabled at all only enabled. Not only is he an unbelievable carver but also one beautiful human being. I just wanted to share my gift with you it sits in my living room in a place of honor in my house.
Colin

Hi Colin,
What a wonderful gift that Ron gave you. I've never had the pleasure of meeting either of you but have seen both of your creations here on WCI for several years now and have enjoyed each and every one, you're work is great, but its unbelievable and very inspiring how Ron can create. Thanks for sharing your gift with us.
Dan

I've been wondering what happened to Ron. Last I heard he had been having dog training-related challenges...

That's incredible!
I love the expression. It certainly deserves a spot in the front row.
