Thanks Gene for all the nice words but when i look at all the nice carvings on the site i know i have a long way to go.I could give them to my friends but thay wouldn't be my friends very long if i did and my family has plenty of fire wood Ha ha.

Vic,
i realy like the little preacher..


with some micro tools like dockyard 1.5mm-5mm gouges you could go into a whole different level of detail but at $40 + S&H its tough to justify... but you could really work them ears over

i been quite busy and havnt had much carving time, busy with ebay and making knifes and getting some new tools for myself, really antisipatin there delivery,
then you know im going to kick back and make some shavings myself...

i got a box of half dones i need to burn or finish and while cleaning up i found 50 bd ft of baswood i forgot i had, and you know i cant let that age any longer....

great preacher as i said, post the second one as you complete it...

Vic, I really like the preacher and the next one you have started looks like it is going to be very good as well. You've done a nice job on the hair. That's something I really need to improve on.

Very nice Vic. Keep the pictures coming. Gene is right, we see improvement with each piece. By the way, your friends should be pleased to receive one of your pieces.
