Retired Michigan teacher Jim Rice, 75, has spent the past six weeks crafting a saddle for President Bush.
The result is worth about $3,500.
Michigan Congressman Nick Smith will present the saddle to the
President later this year.
Rice worked for 40 years as an industrial arts teacher in
Adrian, Michigan, until retiring in 1989.
In the summer, he would work full-time as a saddle maker and
leather worker.
Rice says he and a fellow leather worker, Danielle Cole, will have
put between 80 to 90 hours of work into the project.
This is the dictionary definition of 'too much free time'
.
