Fred, on behalf of myself and all of the members and directors of the Ashland Co. Yesteryear Machinery Club, I wish to extend a big THANK YOU to you, Bill, Uncle Bill, & your brother for bringing Woody to our show last weekend. It was such an honor to be able to meet Bill and you in person and be able to talk with you. It was a very successful year with not quite 2000 people attending on Saturday alone. Agsin, Thank you, and hopefully our paths will cross again some day.

 Careful Fred, if you keep this up people will discover there is a decent, honorable human being under that surly, agitating shell...Harvey
P.S. You got me in trouble again, I was 5 minutes late.

WOW that is a work of art!! very cool. I cant even guess the amount of time he must have had in building that. Our family has a 38 A and to see one made of wood is just freakin awesome! Would love to see it in person some day but I live in IL. so it would be a long drive for both of us. Was just wondering too.. is made from solid wood and carved and what does it weigh?

That was one of the better sounding A's in Ohio also:):)
 
Was nice meeting you and talking/ribbing.  Talked to Uncle Bill and Butch under the tent, guess I didn't realize that was uncle Bill.  Nice unit, and fun to see
