The pleasure was all mine. As you may recall, I was looking for a supplier of crib hardware to make a new crib for my upcoming "grandfaterhdom". Robert responded that he had an old crib that I could use for parts. We met up last night at his place and ended up talking wood and family for over two hours. We probalby both got in trouble with our respective wifes for all the time we took. Robert makes some drop dead gorgeous walking sticks and canes from all kinds of twisted knarly looking wood. One of them looked like it came right out of a Harry Potter movie. He even gave me one of his wonderful works of art. I guess he felt sorry for my bum knee.
Robert is one of our true treasures and a classy country gentleman. I can't thank him enough for his time and his talant.
