    Thumbs up Big news for Double D!!!!

    From unnamed sources, I am informed that our very own, David DeCristoforo, better known to us as "Double D", or just DD, has been accepted into the world renown del Mano gallery in Los Angeles!!! His work will be on display there (and, of course, for sale!), and were that not news enough, some of his pieces will be going to SOFA in Chicago!!

    Upon learning of this, I contacted David and encouraged him to post it, but being much more humble than I, he declined. If this were to ever happen for me (not in this lifetime!), I would be shouting to the world.

    This is HUGE!! del Mano ain't your "run of the mill" gallery. Just take a look at the list of represented artists! I should add here, that you will also find our very own John Beaver, as well!

    And, I just want to remind everyone of my predictions regarding David's work - I knew he would become a recognized turner very quickly. Few folks have that unique combination of design concepts, artistic imagination, and technical skills. When they all come together in one individual, it is truly a blessing.

    CONGRATS, David!! I am excited for you!

    Way to go David...

    John, do you think that David's going to speak to the plain folks, or will he just tell us to "eat cake"
