Pucker Up Oprah, you’re about to get some lipstick.

I was actually allergic to the walnut wood and had to wear a Hazmat Suit the whole time I worked on Oprah.

Oprah sent me a note, some pictures and a nice bouquet of  flowers.  And she tweeted.

I didn’t want Oprah to be sitting in any ole chair, it had to be the nicest chair ever carved out of a solid piece of wood and Oprah in it to Boot.

This is an action shot. There aren’t that many still photos of me carving because I always use a video camera on a tripod.

FYI the bandanas on my feet, keep the sawdust out of my shoes.

How snazzy is that?  The bandanas match my shirt.
