Nice wolf carvings there Forrest.

I went with my wife and two daughters to see Twilight on Friday as well. I was watching to see where the wolf charms come in but they never did. Then after the movie they informed that the charms don't appear until one of the later books.

As far as the movie was concerned - I thought it was good but had a little too much of the two main characters mooning over one another for my taste.

Was the apple wood tough to carve in such a small piece?

Cheers
ChuckT

Awwwww, Forrest, my good buddy.....those wolves are just the cutest things!! You want to pick 'em up and hug 'em. Connie will just love her necklace, I know....and some lucky buyer will grab the other one. I can see by the carvings that you take every advantage of the markings in the wood itself, and it takes stain beautifully, as did your other ones in the rock maple. How on earth you can carve these tiny things from such hard wood, I'll never know. I'd have two bloody stumps by now! Great job, as usual, my friend. Show us some more as you do them, ok? Bonnie
