We ordered a globe from Ben Tyson last year. His craftsmanship and artistry overwhelmingly impressed us. Working with Ben was a delightful experience – he gave extreme attention to our questions and requests. In addition, Ben demonstrated his integrity and fantastic worldview by donating the price of our globe to assist the less fortunate.
