Nice work, Kent! If you like Gary's work, get a copy of "Carving Crazy Critters". I have it and have done several of the ones in the book.

Kent,

Claude took the words right out of my mouth. One of the first books that I bought and the Buzzard was the first carving I did from the book. I enjoyed seeing your carving much more than I did mine, but I recall having alot of fun carving them.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Actually,the book by Gary that I used is Carving Critters,Cowboys,and Other Characters.It was self published in 1989.I was fortunate enough to visit Gary in his home in 1996.He autographed a copy and gave it to me.He is a great inspiration to all of us wannabes.
