By the time I chanced to meet him he wasn't in good health but he was shopping for carving tools at one of our industrial hardware stores. <br /><br />Due to an inexplicable glitch or mistake on my part I missed this post when it came out.

At times I've wished he was painted but now I love him just the way he is with that great wood grain showing. Did you notice how you can see the carvings in the wood? And yes, Kim is our fountain of knowledge. I love her visits too!<br /><br />Judy,<br />Glad you like him.

I'm a big fan of coastal native carving traditions, and Reg's brother, Robert Davidson is one of my favorite artists. He did an album cover for my fave musician a number of years ago, and I've seen some his originals. He studied with Bill Reid, probably the best known and most widely respected of modern Haida carvers. . .the master as it were. Really nice to see this living art form so nicely represented in Alabama!<br />Oh, and I'm rooting for Canada! It just wouldn't be right for anyone else to win the gold in their most treasured sport :-).<br />-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-68203301554614209232010-02-27T05:54:06.989-06:002010-02-27T05:54:06.989-06:00Beautiful!
