When I tell potential customers “If I can make it out of wood, I’ll build it”, I never envisioned building snare drum shells out of my stash of antique Long Leaf Pine. One day this young gentleman came into my shop and asked me if I could make a segmented snare drum shell out of… Read more »
The Great Bay – Recycled Art Show-Follow up
The Great Bay Recycled Art Show was an absolute winner. We met many new people and possibly new customers. We learned tips on showing at shows and which shows to attend. All in all it was a great (no pun intended) show. Hope to be invited back next year. [slideshow]
