    Greetings, Mr. Thibault. My name is Rob McCullah. I too am an artist/designer (although not for a living yet). I have only just begun to try my hand at wood carving. Your works are fantastical! I true mastery of woodworking and carving skills! I am also into rat rods and hot rods and I've even made a few shifter knobs myself (but out of clay and resin). I like to sculpt with polymer clays and make molds of my pieces and sell copies of them at rat rod shows. I have recently gotten into blacksmithing, metal casting and bladed weapons making. Since this last venture, I've had to consider doing some custom wood carving for some of the knife handles and such. ..... Your work has inspired me beyond words! Please keep on doing what you do!
