We were invited to exhibit three of our pieces at the Design in Wood, in San Diego. Some of you may know that this exhibition is one of the worlds largest all wood competitions and has over 1 million viewers. We are really psyched about this invition and hope to win some awards and get some customers from it. We leave early tomorrow and will spend one day on the beach with Sampson so he can run and play with the other dogs. The pieces are on display for a month and then back out we go to pick everything up, with hopefully some good news on our return. Below are the three pieces that will be going.

Shangrila Rocking Chair

Running Wild Horse Desk

Tidal Wave carved vessel
