Sculptural woodworking has been both a passion and an avocation for Morgan for more than a decade, and he has marketed his whimsical and beautiful works through numerous art studios and shows. Because of the large amount of handcrafting required, he often uses and supervises other artisans to assist in the final sculpture. Morgan's work is branded through "Wooden It Be Lovely" and represents innovation and attention to detail in both art and craft. Examples of his work include: a life-size "Sheriff" with a chest that doubles (you guessed it) as a chest to store CDs, complete with cowboy hat, leather vest and badge, and among his most popular works are custom-designed end table replicas of his clients' pets, complete with wagging tails and/or flapping ears. Morgan is a 23-year veteran of the William Mills Agency and has been a well-known and popular member of the Atlanta art community for more than three decades. William Mills Jr., founder and chairman of William Mills Agency, said: "Herb has been a valued member of our agency and a friend from before our founding.
