      Thanks, Josh. Everyone is loving the show and people are really curious about your miniatures in particular. I spent the afternoon in the gallery and it was a real pleasure sharing it with visitors.

    I went to the opening, out front was a team of canoe sculptors, placing thin layers of cedar on an elegant framework while twenty passersby watched, street performance at it’s best. u00a0Inside the main gallery was stuffed with people talking to the artists and viewing the distinctly sculptural works. u00a0This group of local Santa Cruz craftsmen were surrounded by admiring onlookers, their works deserve to be seen several times before this exhibit runs its course!

    Many of the woodworkers are planning on attending the next First Friday (2 Sept) and will be on hand to answer questions and discuss their work. A preview of the exhibit can be watched on the local Community TV show called Wood Works, Episode #11, also available online at blip.tv here:
