    It's a shame that world class woodcarvers have to go out and beat the bushes 
    for challenging commissions.  A lot of people blame the economy, but that's 
    only a small part of the lack of awareness of the availability of 
    architectural carving, and decorative ornament.  I've subscribed to 
    Architectural Digest for a long time.  This magazine features articles on 
    remods that average between 7 and 10 Mil$$.  Sadly, very little woodcarving 
    is included in these jobs.  Sometimes they will show where old rooms are 
    dismanteled from somewhere in Europe and installed in a New York Condo or 
    somesuch.......... 
  One of the first people who contacted me after I set up my website was an interior designer.  The rich usually hire a decorator and listen to what he or she has to say.  A wealthy friend of mine told me that they gave their interior designer the go ahead to decorate with out them.  They lived half the year in fla., half in New York.  They were in Fla while their new york home was being done.  They only told him the styles and colors that they preferred. While I would not dream of doing such a thing and would want to pick out all my furniture and decorative items, They told me that this is not unusual among their other wealthy friends.  They don't care to be involved in the small details.  There are those who do not decorate for themselves but to impress others who visit their houses and they will take the word of their decorators as to what is "in" and what is a "must have".  Why aren't we targeting the interior designers.  If you can get one or two high dollar decorators interested in woodcarvings, they will incorporate it into their designs and will push it to their clients.  Just might start a trend.  Imagine that.
