May 14, 200521 yr I am not sure the prayer list is the proper place to put this, but then again . . . What do y'all think of making a leaf with your touchmark on the back, then sending it to a volunteer that would assemble it into a tree or art piece, to be sent to the Wilson family?
May 14, 200521 yr Good idea Glenn, Sounds like it would be a nice project for a young smith who has some guidance nearby to tackle. Think your lad would be interested it it?
May 14, 200521 yr Sounds like a splendid idea. Let me know where and when to send a leaf or two. Woody
May 14, 200521 yr Glenn, posting above should read "wonderful thought", hard to see through misty eyes.
May 19, 200521 yr im game. just get together a size of the leaves and style so we dont have a tree with 100s of differnt leaves. This would be a great tribute to a great mans life.
May 19, 200521 yr Author I have located a couple of shops that are willing to used to make the build. There are just a couple more things to be worked out. I will post details shortly.
May 20, 200521 yr Author Let the PPW leaf making begin. As a tribute to Jim Wilson, we are collecting hand made leaves to assemble into an art piece, and presented to his wife Sheri. Everyone is welcome to contribute. Leaf design and size if of your choice. Please leave a long stem on the leaf so it can be shortened before attachment. (It can be cut shorter much easier than it can be made longer) If you would like to make two or three leaves, that will provide an opportunity to add volumn to the project if needed. Marks are not a requirement, but if you have a touchmark, add it or your initials to the leaf. If you have ideas on a design into which the leaves can be incorporated, please pass it along. A decision will be made later, depending on the amount of leaves on hand, as to how they will be used, whether in an art piece, a table, a gate, sections in a railing, or whatever. Send your leaf or leaves and design ideas to: IForgeIron/Glenn Conner 607 Crestview Drive Big Chimney, WV 25302-4415
May 20, 200521 yr Author So everyone has a chance to participate, and to have those going to SOFA (Sept 24,25) able to contribute, we will ask that all leaves be in the mail by October 1, 2005. Spread the word far and wide that everyone is encouraged to participate. Put all leaves in the mail by October 1, 2005.
June 3, 200521 yr Author The first leaf arrived today June 3, 2005 Please have all leaves in the mail by October 1, 2005
June 3, 200521 yr Dan, we are all different individuals. I think it would be a great tribute to PPW if each leaf was indivdual, he would like that I think
