Ok Vic .. Do you want me to encourage you or tell you to stop .. Your already caught up in the addiction .. so why fight it ..
Could anything else be more of a pleasure to be addicted to ?

I dont think I could bring myself to tell you to stop ... So let me just encourage you again and buy more shelf space ..

Keep it up Vic .. That's what carving is all about .. learning and enjoying .. and I dont think there is anything more enjoyable in feeding our creative spirit then sitting down with a knife and a good piece of basswood and turning a piece of wood into something that you yourself and others enjoy .. If it wasn't for that .. We wouldn't be here talking to one another ..

So ...sorry .. But I cant do it .. It would be almost like being a traitor to the cause .... and I certainly dont want to be guilty of that ..
So .. here it is again .. great job and keep carving ... Your thank me someday for it ..
God Bless
Gene

Vic,

just go ahead and brace the shelve, and add a couple more while your at it.
or go to walmarts and buy a china hutch with glass front. and get it over...

your hooked. and if you try to put the knife back in the drawer it will wake you up at night calling to you to come and carve...

just get on the line and call henkel and get a load of basswood, pull up a waste can and get after it.
