Wonderful. I’m sure the Docs and Nurses are pleased that a grateful patient and his family took the time to remember them with something this special.

Wow, that is a great story with a very happy ending. Glad your Grandfather is doing better and it is really nice that you created such a beautiful tribute to such worthy people. People often forget about the Hospital crew that went the extra steps to make a patient’s recovery and comfortable and smooth as possible. Your Grandfather apparently was treated very well and appreciated it – good for him.

Now that’s just inspirational. Good work, and a nice tribute.

Hello Harold;
—-and yes, I see that your ‘wood art’ takes on the nature and character of be-ing human!

Wood hands, working….massaging….and giving forth the hope of life, to all that cross their path. Hands of wood, breathing inspiration to stone hearts, held in a cradle of love….these are the dreams I see in your work of art.

I missed out some years ago when my wife had a business trip to Hawaii and I didn’t go. Then she came back bringing me pictures of some of the great wood sculptures and furniture done over your way. This was when I first heard of ‘Koa wood’, and that was when I was sorry for not making the trip with her….as I would have been packing back home some of the wood.

Thank you for sharing this story and wood sculpture with us here at LJ.
GODSPEED,
Frank

Being a cardiac patient myself, I can say that touches my heart.
