I had to beat Tammy off this one with a Stick. :D

Ernie Edwards and Darla the Blacksmith have donated this wonderful suncatcher made by Darla in her shop. There is a secret about this work of Art that you can learn about in the Ebay Listing. ;D

Ernie and Darla live about 2 hours from our home in Copemich Michigan. Near Traverse City. Darla has a blacksmithing shop there where she creates amazing works of art. She is also the head blacksmith for the giant Buckely old engine show in Buckley michigan. Recently Traverse Magazine did a story on Darla. You can read the story by clicking on her photo.

Darla and Ernie, THANK YOU!

Oh my goodness, what a good bunch of people supporting the Forum.

It was a real pleasure to do this for the Forestry Forum even if it has made me a Forestry Forum widow.

I know Ernie has gotten a lot of good information and quite a few chuckles from this forum and it was a pleasure to meet so many nice prople at the pig roast last year.

Thanks to everyone for their support.

Darla

I started watching on rfdtv called the forge & anvil once a week and some of the best fancy iron blacksmithers are women . When I see how fancy this suncatcher is I want to outbid all of you but christmas has put the clamps on me from doing so . I bet I will see Darla on that show .   8)

Hey Buck, what time is that show on? I would like to watch it. We have discovered TIVO at our house, and it is GREAT! We have recorded every Wood Works show made, and really enjoy it. I would like to see the blacksmithers also. It has always interested me.
