Default There's a celebrity among us

One of our frequent posters just had a very nice spot on the local TV station. I'm putting a little pressure on him to come on and post his story. I was very proud that he represented us carvers so well. He'll probably show up later tonight, we'll see.

Okay, Okay....I was fortunate enough to land a 5 minute spot on our local TV news as well as an article in the EMPIRE section of the Bristol Herald Courier newspaper that will be released tomorrow. I was fairly pleased how the TV spot turned out and I can only hope that the newspaper article will be as good. I know there are many other local carvers who's work could better represent the carving community in a holiday spot. Bob's is one of them! If you would like to take a look, copy this link and paste it in your address bar........

Thanks for giving it a look, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
