Barry I have heard that before about haven good eyes. That made me smile! I get new glasses every year at the VA,I have meds that have given me cataracts plus this year,I have Macular Degeneration in my eyes. I dont use magnify glasses,I have a very sharp touch in my hands,had it all my life. I can dot a flys eye ball if he sits still long enough. I dont use a carving glove,I have one but the way I carve,I can tell when Im about to get cut,sounds stange I know!! Being raised by my blind grandmother,my touch was used alot,she never got use to going blind.

I hope this information helps,Im not trying to brag on myself believe me! Now days I have bigger fish to fry as they say,I just hope I dont run out of enough oil to fry them with.

I thank you Barry for your neat questions plus taken your time to view this little politician.
P.S,Ive carved full trains on matches and tooth picks,kind my thing carving different items.
Forrest

Forrest,

Had to take my glasses off to see him, that's a really small guy. Good job! Keep on carving.

HEY!! Herb!! Ahhhh he aint much but carving a smaller carving keeps my mind off myself plus easy to get done in a day. I like carving something one day then painting it the next morning like this little politician. The main thing also,is you like it like other here,makes it worth while carving it.

Thanks my ole Wyo friend for your thoughts here!!

Your ole I mean OLD Tn friend,Forrest
