[Woodcarver] Eagle Head Project (chat)

[RICHARD L ROMBOLD]

I have done between 25 and 30 canes and sent them out. No one has ever said 
anything about that one was better than the other one. But then I don't deal 
with any organization, I send mine direct to a friend that works in the 
health field, and he pass them out. My name is on a tag that goes with the 
cane and I usually get a thank you back. I have had 2 of them come back that 
the person has asked for more work done on them. I even had one guy come to 
my house the thank me personally and he wanted to learn how to make the 
canes. He is now turning out about 10 to 15 a month and the government is 
paying for his work as physical therapy. He's one happy fellow.

I have to agree with Byron on this one!  There should be specifics on size 
of holes for the base and overall size but details should be left up to the 
carver as to how it is finished.  I am sure the service people will love and 
respect each one as unique and theirs - not that one is better than another.
Is this project not to honor each individual that served our country and are 
we not individual creative people that want to show our thanks any way we 
can???   How sad we are put into boxes.
