Default "Campfire Cook Finished"

I re-titled mine, "Coffee, Biscuits & Beans", Had to get the coffee word worked in because of my business.

Really enjoyed this project very much, THANKS Lynn for your blog, training, & education.

My hardest part was the apron lettering, sanded it off three times, finally changed the last line to just the word Flour, less letters.

Comments & critics always welcomed. I emjoy the learning process from the feedback.

Again, thank you very much Lynn for all the time you've put in the blog in helping us all become a better trained carver.....Bill

You da man!!!! Bill that is really a nice piece. Right down to the Cigar Band! Your photos are kind of dark. Would really be a treat to all if you could retake them so the smaller details show up better. The Apron looks great to me. Folds in the clothes, everything is spot on.

You make me proud!

Noted the nameplate....did you order it from Signsbygwynn.com? How'd you like the service?

wow amazing! I think these people deserve so much praise for putting their time into the tutorials for us. I only hope that with many many hours of practice and the help of all the great people of this forum that I will one day be able to achieve carvings even a fraction of the quality of this carving. Bill, You are a great carver. thanks for showing us the finished project.
