In memoriam: Jack Thomas, 1930 - 2015. A Korean war veteran, accomplished woodcarver and flute maker, Jack also received numerous local, state, national and international awards in archery. He was a wonderful man, and we miss him greatly. He loved sharing with and teaching others his many talents, especially archery and flute making.

Jack graciously allowed me to display some of his carvings here. These are close-ups of his fetish carvings. Note: These are not for sale. Click on the image to see a larger version...
