Art,
Sorry you are retiring as I have always looked up to you and your work- it is a high standard of workmanship in the craft for us to strive for. But I am also glad for you that you are going to take the time to do some other things and enjoy life a little more. Best to you.

Art,
You have been a man of few words but your knives have always spoke for themselves. As others have mentioned your work will be missed.
Life is too short not to enjoy so good luck and enjoy all that is yet to come your way.

 

[Denny Eller]

Art, you will be sorely missed. I have always been a huge fan of your terrific craftsmanship and your eye for form and function. But I understand your desire to do other things. Life is like a roll of toilet paper - the closer you get to the end the faster it goes. I thank you for all the wonderful pics you have posted and wish you health and happiness in your future endeavors. God Bless
