Arte Cruz woodworking

Today after Riva got back from a Bible study, we went to the woodworking shop of Arte Cruz. He is a skilled craftsman, who has studied all over the world. His attention to detail is amazing. He stopped what he was working on, and made us a sign for Rivas parents.


He did everything by hand, with us watching in amazement. It took him about 30 minutes to carve everything, and another 45 to paint it. He says his skill comes from the love he has for his work, as evident in what he makes. Most everything in his shop is less than $15. Here are some other things we bought.





He even made some toy tools while we were waiting, and let Jacob play at his workbench. Jacob loved it!


Hopefully we will get a chance to go back again, it was a really neat place!
