Hi Gene, Sharp looking Gentelman. I like him. How do you get away with carving in the Mall? If I did that they would throw me out of the Mall, after I leaned up my mess. Susan Irish uses a towel on her lapp. Tried that, I miss the towel. lol. Good Job as usual. Merle

Quite the daintly looking fellow... nice job. And isn't it great to have such a perfect lag time activity like carving. Never a moment to be bored!

Great job Gene! I'm really liking the ones you do with a jacket and tie! Nice work! I sure wish I could sit and carve instead of chasing a 3 year old around the mall while my wife shops. I guess they are only little once, so I am definitely not complaining! Great work on this guy!
