Description The client in Florida who commissioned the Sea Turtle Bench sent me pictures of it after he had it permanently installed.
I'm really happy with how it all came together.
I got an email from the client the day the freight company delivered it and it read..."just got the bench and 'awesome' doesn't even begin to describe how it looks!"...
That made my day....
Ps..the shot on the lower right is the 3 ft. Escargot that they got a few years ago...

Thanks Mark...Yeah, often I don't get to see my pieces after they get shipped off so it was nice to see his pix.

Merry Christmas to you and Susan as well!

Nope now that you can see it in the environment- I am glad you did NOT use the surf board idea. It is very elegant with all the other things in the garden area.

I do too...It was fun to go to Fountain Hills, AZ a few years ago and see people hanging out on the giant turtle they got.
They have it in this massive beautiful park area....
I think my favorite place for pieces is in Kauai though...
I need to put a visitation clause with all my pieces...hee hee
