The guy has skills!

I was organizing some photos of recent buying trips to Italy and came across this photo. It’s of a very nice Italian man who has been a woodcarver for over 60 years. I was fascinated with his work. The setting was lovely with all of the tools he has acquired over the years and classical Italian music playing in the background. For me, going to Italy is the best field trip in the world. I’ve had the chance to meet so many interesting people willing to share their story, teach me a little bit about what they know and give me a greater appreciation for their life and culture.
