A Day of Hawks

Filed under: — Dave @ 5:18 pm on
I was really touched by your near death and new life experience that you described. I was practically in tears to hear that you received life in a much more peaceful and accepting way. It gives me hope that eventually every individual given the chance will choose compassion and loving kindness as a path. Thank you for that hope…On another point, I find your altars very beautiful.  I am in the process of trying to find an altar that suits my purpose and has a peaceful quiet appearance.  The style you have is just that. I guess I want to know more about them. How long does it take, which woods do you like working with best, how you design them, do you make small portable altars, and the logistics of buying one. Again, thank you for your experience and I hope you continue to share the wisdom of loving kindness.
Yours in the Dharma,
Patricia
Patricia,
Thank you for your kind thoughts about my experiences. I am finally in a place were I can share my experiences with others. I find it funny how the universe understands when we are ready. Because as soon as I agreed to share, requests came that had me traveling to speak to groups. That resulted in requests for me to write a book, that I am now in the process of compiling. It seems to me that I am doing what is in my path and purpose. So every day (good or bad) is wonderful for me.
I felt like I had to share that with you because, As I was reading your feedback, a small life drama was playing out, just outside my window. A Sharp Shined Hawk had caught a dove and was starting to dine on it under the cedars that are outside my window.  Hawk to me is a messenger telling me to pay attention to what is going on around me or, what was I just doing. Well I was reading your post at the time. Then as I started to reply another Sharp Shined Hawk swooped past the window and landed nest to the first one. Well this resulted in a tussle and the second one was the victor. The first hawk flew into the ash tree 25 feet away and started making some squeaks and squawks and I got the feeling these two were a pair. So as the second one is now dinning, and the first has flown out of site, I got the message that I should share a little more with you than a thank you.
As far as your inquires about my altars, I make them one at a time and each one is a bit of a journey for me. I love working with the wood and use a number of domestic and exotic types, whatever speaks to me at the time. I stopped making custom built altars because the demand was too much for me. I am disabled and can not work steady in the shop. At this time it is maple syrup time so that takes me away from the woodshop and into the sugar shack which I love as well.  My designs are my own and I keep getting new inspirations. I will be getting back to the shop pretty soon. I will put your email name on a list to let you know when I have a new altar available. If you like it, then you can let me know or use PayPal to purchase it. I can ship inside the continental US.
Blessings,
Namaste,
Dave www.Dharma-Talks.com

Getting back into the shop soon.

Filed under: — Dave @ 12:31 pm on

In response to a recent comment;

Yes, I am still making altars but, I do not have any available at this time. I took a little time off but I will soon be getting back into the shop. Would you like me to put you on an email list when I have some altars available? There are a few other folks that want to be notified.

I’m not sure what I’ll be making next I have a few new Design ideas that I want to try.

Buddha statues

Filed under: — Dave @ 7:28 pm on

I will no longer be selling Buddhas on my web site. I only want to provide those items that I make. So, when the last Buddha is sold, I will eliminate that page.

I feel there are many resources out there on the Web that provide wonderful statues. I do not wish to become a resale web site.

My altars and products are a work of love that come out of my wood shop.

So very soon I will be updating the price on the last bronze Buddha on my web site. That means that I will be reducing it in price just to move it along and make it available to someone who wants it.

Just a thought, but I may turn the Buddha page into a page of links that I have found and used to purchase Buddha statues.

So thank you to all my customers,

Dave

Incense Holder/ Burner

Filed under: — Dave @ 7:16 pm on

I am thinking of introducing a new product to my web site. What I’m interested in making are incense holders. In the picture below, you can see the style that I’m trying to duplicate. I would be making them out of choice hardwoods like Walnut, Mahogany, Maple and Cherry.

I would really like to hear what your thoughts are, so please take the time to comment.

Thanks so much, Dave
