Gideon


Gideon is a skilled artist and craftsman from the nearby village of Banz. (That’s where we go clothes shopping, but I’ll save that for another post). He burns beautiful, intricate designs into bamboo crosses, picture frames, nativity sets, flutes, bush knives, and pretty much anything you can make out of wood. This is not to be confused with carving….Gideon has a lumpy, melted finger to prove his point. He also happens to be a friend Ron and Doris Libby, for those of you from Oroville, and speaks of them fondly every time I see him.
