Thanks to all for the comments !
I didn't get to do much carving in '07. Just a couple of pieces. Hope '08 will be better.

Feb.... Thanks,
He is not too big. The figure stands right at 8 inches tall in his fighting stance.

Hi Steve,

Nice work.

- what is the process you take to create the fence?

I found in the pile of wood behind the shop a cedar fence piece from Home Depot. Using the table saw I cut it into 1/8 in. thich slats for my fence. They are glued to cross pieces and all was given a very weak wash with acrylic paint. The ends of the fence slats were "aged" by breaking pieces off with pliers.
