Alabama NewsCenter — Alabama Woodcutter’s Art Caught NFL Star Derrick Henry’s Eye on Twitter
By Bob Blalock
Nick Garrett spent a recent weekend using his scroll saw to craft a wood 3D jersey of All-Pro NFL running back Derrick Henry, one of his favorite football players while Garrett attended the University of Alabama, and his favorite NFL player. Garrett, a distribution engineer at Alabama Power, planned to hang the jersey in his man cave.
Garrett’s plans changed minutes after he posted a picture of the finished product on Twitter and Instagram.
“As soon as I did that, no lie, about 30 minutes later, one of my followers messaged me on Twitter with a link to a tweet from Derrick Henry that said, anybody who makes any art or cool stuff related to me, let me know. I’d love to purchase some of it and help support,” Garrett said.
