Thumbs up Re: Mark Gargac's Ornament Rough-out

Mark .. i just had to stop for a minute at work and tell you what a fantastic job you did on that ornament ..

Your faces are truly one of the best I have ever seen ... You and Mark G. are both are some of the best facial carvers I have seen ..

Wonderful Mark .. Excellent piece ..

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.
