Default Fellow Carver's Dragon Castle
Another carver called Brian, from one of the carving groups I attend, recently completed this masterpiece in cottonwood bark. I had a camera handy, so offered to post some pictures here for him. Isn't it fantastic?!

Thanks for posting this photo. We all know that a photo is second best to seeing in real time. I too am a member of this carving group, and can only say that this Cottonwood bark carving is one of the best I've seen. Brian is one of two "younger" carvers that carve with a bunch of old folks at the Senior Center. LBlake is the other. Both are real talents...Thanks again for posting and sharing Brian's talent...

Blake / Tom, Brian is very very talented, I have never seen that quality of detail on cottonwood. I think Brian has a future in carving. Thanks for posting.

One question............

Why is Brian not a member of this site?

I will be viewing this carving for quite some time. It will take a while to take it all in.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
