The shop tools in ASH Woodshops are feeling a bit neglected today. I live near the ocean at Monterey Bay and the water was shining like an emerald this morning. It made it very hard to get into the shop. So I decided to run some errands today. That allowed me to be out an about almost all day. I had several orders for wood products that had sold and needed to be shipped today, and that got me started. I was able to talk with a great friend today also. He is a mentor to me and I always am blessed by our weekly conversation. Unfortunately he lives all the way across the country near Atlanta, but we manage to have a weekly call. I visited several stores today and was in such a great mood, that I had to share that with everyone that I came in contact with. It was great. It is amazing how easy it is to make people light up with a smile, just by smiling yourself. It is Wednesday, so my wife and I attended our Night of Worship service. We both were blown away by the music and the sermon. All in all, a very rewarding day. I got some great feedback from a customer that received a music box that I had been commissioned by her to make for her mother. We are always very proud of good feedback, especially when we exceed the expectations of our customers.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but it is really nice to hear that the piece looked more beautiful in person than the photographs. This piece was made from cherry and walnut. Beautiful if I do say so myself!Truly a great day.
Blessings,
Alan
