[Woodcarver] Photo ripoff

[Donna Menke]

Here is my contribution:
The photo you are using for your wooden doors advertisement was carved by a friend of mine, Ron Ramsey http://www.carvedbyramsey.com
He is not happy about this, and neither is the rest of the carving community.
You owe him for the use of his photo of his work on your web site.

>>A kind person recently tipped me off to a website from India that has stolen one of the photos from my website and is representing it as their own work.  I don't know if I can do much to a site in India but I thought that if any of you wanted to click the "send inquiry" button and send them a message about the unethical nature of this, it might help.  The site is: http://www.indiamart.com/swyra-interiors/interior-product.html
