    I first bought a mill from Dusty at the October show for a gift. It never made it out of our house! It is simply beautiful and one of a kind. And, best of all, functional. Was so glad to see him again at the Gatlinburg show. Will actually give these as gifts.

    My husband and I have been attending the Gatlinburg Craftsmen show for many years and were just thrilled to find Dusty and his remarkable skills.  He is truly a craftsman and an artist.

    Knowing my one-of-a-kind clock came from local wood and was created by a master craftsman makes it one of the most treasured pieces in my office. Love all of Wood Be Memories work!

    I love all things “natural”…pine cones, sea shells, acorns, leaves and such for home décor, so I especially treasure Dusty’s handmade wooden bowls. He captures the beauty and uniqueness of the individual wood in each creation. It’s always a pleasure to select one of his handcrafted wood items for a special gift or for use in my own home.

    Dusty is a genuine craftsman when it comes to woodworking. He was able to bring out the full grain, luster and texture of the wood in the bowl that he made for us. The proportion of it perfectly fit the piece of wood chosen for the project. His abilities go beyond the technical side to embrace a "feel" for the potential of his raw material.

    As fun gifts for my son and son-in-law, I filled these beautiful hand turned bowls with nuts and gave them as special "enjoy the super bowl" gifts. They really loved them and now the bowls are a football tradition. The spouses love them too, -- especially since they are lovely to look at --- not the usual plastic treat bowls.
