Hi Keith,

If I haven't already welcomed you, consider this a warm welcome. You've done a couple of very nice carvings. Even though I've thought about carving these two projects, I never got around to it. Probably spending too much time posting and not enough carving.

Hey JL
Both of those were carved out using a pocket knife. It takes a little more time that way, buy that is a good teacher in patience. Happy Carving.
