Hi all.
Well, after an 18 hour drive home, which I pulled through and did all in one day, starting at 7, and ending at 1 AM, (lunch somewhere in there as well, I finally have time to thank everyone for such a great time at ASIA.

It started out great by meeting Jerry, our new knife maker early on, then Bob C (what a great great guy!) and then catching up with John O, meeting Lance, and of course Don, Brock, and everyone else. Please don't take it wrong if I left your name out! It's been a long past week .

It was my second ASIA and it was more fun than the first.
I got to spend some real time with people I only hoped to the first time around so that was wonderful and exciting.
ASIA has some incredibly talented, diverse and intelligent members. It's a pleasure to be involved.

I am sorry I didn't make the dinner guys. I had an opportunity open up I could'nt refuse!
More inlays soon!
Craig L.

Craig it was great meeting and spending some time chatting. I've been a fan of your work since I first saw it and it was nice to put a face to the art. Wonderful work!

Craig, I thought I had a tough drive at 9.5 hrs! Dang, and you drove straight through!
It was a pleasure meeting you, wish you could have joined us at Dinner, but we understand, business first
Your work is admirable, so much nicer in real life, if thats even possible!

Craig,
I too enjoyed meeting you. I have always been impressed with your work. But when I saw it up close, WOW!! I was blown away. This is a case where pictures do it justice, just not enough. Amazing stuff.

Craig, it was a real pleasure to finally meet you. My wife has still been talking about your inlay work. She might not understand all the guitar talk but she sure has great taste in inlay. I can't wait to see what you will come up with next. Hopefully, there will be a mosquito in your future. Don A38525.8157060185
