Buddha statues
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
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

May update
Here’s a picture of our pear tree in bloom, it shows us the beauty in this world, especially at spring. This picture was taken after a killing frost, it goes to show the hardiness of some life forces, even in the harshest of times. We all need to take a moment to breathe in the beauty of what this life has to offer.
We had a wonderful and informative meeting of the upstate New York IANDS Saturday, May 21, 2005 in Webster, New York. We showed a video and had an interactive discussion afterwards. It’s a wonderful thing, when you can bring together a group of like-minded individuals to discuss a topic such as the near-death experience. As usual after the meeting we went across the street and had a bite to eat and continued the discussions.
You can see, I have been busy in the shop working on a few altars. One of which is made of Indian rosewood and the grain matched up perfectly. This is an exceptional piece of rosewood that I found in one of my travels. When you work with wood that is as beautiful as this, you can feel the creators presents every time you look deeply into the grain. This is the work that makes my heart sing and brings me closer to Spirit.
