After handpicking an extravagant bouquet of flowers for my wife, I realized I could not afford the arrangement I had envisioned.  I was disappointed but not discouraged.   An avid woodworker, I turned to the medium I knew best.  Showcasing the colors and textures of the choice scrap wood I collected over the years, I transformed the pieces into a unique floral arrangement. The everlasting bouquet has brightened our home each day since.
