| | Large mouth Bass,carved in Mahogany I bought this chunk of Mahogany from a junk store for $1.00. It might have been cut for some type of base. Its 2 1/4 inches thick,tall at 4 inches and 11 inches long. It was hard wood and had aged with a few water marks on it.
It was fun but hard carving,if Id had a band saw I could had cut out the fish more than chiseling so much on it. It was fun but glad when I got to the stage of painting him.
your thoughts or comments are more than welcome. Thks' Tn~

I appreciate your thoughts,Joy. Forrest
