| | | "Mr Wizard" We have a local businessman in town nick-named Mr Wizard, so I thought I'd carved up a woodspirit to give him to hang up on his office wall. I don't know him very well, but got the idea after hearing his local radio ads. www.picturetrail.com/carvers-r-us
Put one picture in the woodspirits album.
Planning on going to his office on this tuesday to walk in and give him my gift, inspired by his local ads.

| | Re: "Mr Wizard" Great carving as usual you are like wine, you get better with age.LOL  . In all seriousness I am sure he will just love it. It has so much character and it is certainly a nice gesture on your part to carve it for him.

| | | Re: "Mr Wizard" It would surely leave a lasting impression as a stranger walking into a business and presenting the owner with a carving. The world these days, random acts of kindness of far and few between! |

| | Re: "Mr Wizard" Hey Coffeeman,
Awesome wood spirit. Great carving. Lucky guy that's going to receive it. And how thoughtful of you to carve it for him. It will certainly be a great 'housewarming' gift.

| | Re: "Mr Wizard" Hey CoffeeMan,
I agree with all the others. The piece looks very nice!
I know I would be very honored & awe-struck for a complete stranger to give me such a fine piece of art.
I think that just goes to show your character!
I proud to know that I have found a site (& am a small part of) that is full of members that are good hearted people. Sorta restores my faith in humanity. Carvers (most anyway) are a great group of people.
Jim

| | | Re: "Mr Wizard" Nice story Coffeeman and great work on the wizard!  Having just ventured into wizards and other types of faces (besides woodspirits  ) this summer I really enjoy seeing how others do theirs. |
