A shot with little color vibrancy,
A local wood carver and toy maker, making real the legend of Santa's workshop. Into the late hours of the night he sat working , finishing up a rubber band powered paddle boat that some child will be thrilled to see in their stocking on Christmas.
The work is shown around his house as I went to visit him. the fireplace reminds viewers of the master carver that lives here while the toys dolls and puppets show a child's heart.
A man to be celebrated
