Smile My I Present The " High Class Penguin "
Hi Gang

Well, I finally finished the penguin. It was somewhat of a challenge with the size of this little guy.

You see in the attachment: Top Hat & Cane these two carvings were to be for a LARGE PENGUIN with its fin or arm raising his cane.

However, it was much to too for me (too advanced so far) I kept those for the forthcoming penguin. Other than that my wife will have that little guy on her lawyer desk in her office.

It's nice to be married to an attorney (she keeps this 69 year ol' outa jail . . . ) Yeah Right

Hi Boonie

I thank you for the compelment. I think I'm carving under 6 mos. And I'm kinda suprised myself how I'm starting to catch on a bit ~ Thanks 2 guys & gals like you.

I really want to make another " HIGH CLASS PENGUIN " got some cool ideas. But first things first ~ Carve and Carve Again.

Take Care
