Hi All,
Haven't posted anything for awhile so this is kind of a hodgepoge of mostly caricature stuff! The first is an 6" tall inebriated geezer I am working on for a scene which I hope I will finish up this month. I'll keep ya posted . The second picture is a couple Santa ornaments, 4" tall that are ready for painting. They are based on Mark Gargac's "Carving Santa Ornaments" DVD which is an excellent resource. Thank's Mark, I don't think you could have made the DVD any better as it is more great than excellent. Would that be excellenter? The third item is the description of a knife I bought from Thomp. A spalded maple handle holds the German straight rasor blade that was ground into a fine carving knife. I would give Thomp my highest recommendation for making a great carving knife if ya need one! Guess that's it for now.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of that scene, Jim. It's not an LSU fan on Bourbon Street, is it? (Ducking).

Thanks Windsong, I'll post the finished geezer!
Hi Cotton, yes I can take a drubbing;O( I got a poster with a Block O and 9 with the caption "Truth Hurts" because Kent State doesn't really prepare you for the SEC (in reference to Ohio State Buckeyes loss to LSU ;O((.
Thanks Bart, will get the scene done as quick as possible.
Hey Gene, Thanks for the compliments! Will keep the post alive with the geezer scene.

great carvings as usual jim,
the old gezer favors me somewhat but i got a little more hair...

glad to hear your enjoying that straight razor knife, but i think you should have added how slow i am in getting the job done

[Jim OH]

Hey Thomp,
Thanks for the compliment! I do enjoy the knife, and it's perfect for me, because I carve really slow;O)

I have about 5 knives Ive made from razors,I use alot also plus other crude tools Ive made that I carve with. Keep up the good work! Now Im back hanging more tongue & grove today. Forrest

Jim,
You are a master at those faces. I love to see your work. I think you could write a book on carving faces. Thanks for showing.....Myron
