I may not have mentioned this before, but my daddy is AWESOME! First he instilled in me a love for the smell of lumber, hallelujah. My favorite thing when I was a kid was to walk over to the local hardware store on the weekends to browse or buy a couple things. My dad has always been Mr. Fix-It, a Jack of all Trades. His tool collection is a thing of beauty...and you can never have too many clamps. Since he retired, he has had a chance to explore some hobbies and has gotten really incredible at refinishing antique furniture. He can see the potential in a beat up old antique and restore it to probably better condition than it ever was.
I guess he got bored with greatness and decided to learn to carve. He's done a lot of really cool stuff, but this latest is awesome! It's his FIRST, let me say it again FIRST piece done in this relief style. I'm honored that he let me paint it for him, it was really fun and turned out soooo good!
