We are proud to annouce that we won best in our category for wood at the 38th annual Ruidoso Art Festival 2009. This honor awards us automatic entry into the 2010 show. 
Out of over 265 fine wood artists that displayed their pieces at the 2010 Design in Wood in San Diego, we walked away with Honorable Mention in each of our categories, for all three of our pieces (Shangrila Rocker, Running Wild Horse Desk and Tidal Wave-carved vessel) that were on display. There were quite a few outstanding pieces on display, so we feel honored. We were also one of the very few that sold a piece at this exhibition (Running Wild Horse Desk).

ARTICLES
We have recently sent a few pieces over to Jolly Ol England to promote ourselves overseas. These pieces are made from mesquite wood and include our Shangrila Rocker, a mesquite ribbon sculpture and two carved vessels. In an effort to promote mesquite products, Hill Country Mesquite invited three mesquite artists (including us) to send some of our work overseas. These pieces are being advertised in magazines and other publications, and are on display at various locations to bring something new and exciting to England and the surrounding areas. We can't wait to see how we are viewed as artists over there and how mesquite wood catches on.
