Default Hugs and smiles

I affixed the drizabone hanger for my friend Marie yesterday and recieved ample reward by way of hugs and smiles for my effort. She said she loved the concept and the fact that the timber resembled the top half of Australia. She can now remember her travels with her recently departed husband every time she walks out her door.

Now you are a right nice dude Josef. Way to go. Nice touch on your idea for the hanger. I'm sure it will be well appreciated. I have 2 first cousins in Australia, one in Middle cove and one in Sidney. Would be fun for me to hang a coat on your hanger and have coffee with the two of you someday.

Hey Joe,
Very nice gift for your friend, the "hugs & smiles" we get are very rewarding, to me they are so much better than a few bucks from a stranger. Good to put a face with a name too, you take a great pic.
Dan

Hey Josef,
Love the picture with smiles and hugs. Dan Wegiel said it perfectly. That's the best reward you can receive.
I see you're wearing the tiny chainsaw. I still want one. Would you mind terribly if I make a measly attempt at copying yours? It's just so cool.

Thank-you Alan, you can hang your coat and hat at my door any time you're in town. I welcome all wood carvers as friends. Joe.
