Default My first bark carving, ever!

Wow!carving bark takes patience, and lots of cuss words. This is the first one for me. Not only am I new carver, but a new computer user too! Cannot get the attachment to open. TOM H

Tom,
If you can't open the attachment it probably is too large of a photo. You might have missed a prompt which gave the photo size. In order to put an attachment on this post you need to go to the photo software on your computer and find a selection for resizeing your image. Get it to the size required and save it. Then you will be able to attach it. If you can't make it work let me know and I will see if I can help you.

Hi Tom, looking forward to seeing your first bark carving. Wow you have two big challenges learning computer and carving. I've been working with computing for over 10 years and still learn new things every day. I've only been carving a few months...soooooo I figure 10 more years carving and I might begin to learn something. LOL

Thanks to all who helped me try to post this photo. It took a new password, reactivation, etc.; and after all this, it's sure to be much ado about very little. Remember, I am a relatively new carver, and this is my first attempt at carving bark. TOM H
