[Rhodes22-list] Bow pulpit where is Jay B (Just Bent)?

[Tootle]

Linda,

Here is another idea!  We have on this forum a dentist.  When he is not
putting smiles of faces, he carves wood.  And he is good!

Have Jay and him work together to create a new bow pulpit that will accept a
wood carving of a mermaid!  

Now that would be something, don't you think?
