Default a Shawn Cipa angel
Since I have completed all my major holiday committments, I have just been working on fun things! I am getting some parts for Christmas to re-model my power honer, so I have been cutting out some disks and doing some glue-ups to prepare for that. I plan to make the full 4 disk Burke style sharpener and I hope to use the existing motor I have, but it may not have enough power. I carved this small angel from a Shawn Cipa pattern for a lady at church and will do a larger version as a tree topper for my daughter. I like Shawn’s work and plan to do some other pieces based on his patterns. I have the stuff for his recent dancing Santa and I want to do the photo holder one from a few years back. Merry Christmas to all!

Mike,

Well done, you couldn't have done a better job! The woman who gets it will cherish it forever. I agree with Steve, the colors are fantastic.
