"Many thanks and congratulations to Brad for the beautiful and amazingly realistic Flammulated Owl he has just carved for me.  This bird has the most complex feather pattern of any North American owl, yet Brad captured it in all its detail.  Despite my being in New Zealand, he worked with me via email and photos (thank you to his wife, Miriam, for those) to ensure that the finished sculpture would be exactly as I wanted.  It arrived in perfect condition, thanks to the excellent packaging and is now prominently and proudly displayed in our home."
