Mini Friendship Cane #2-COMPLETED

[Tom-H]

Over 400 replies requires a new thread to announce the #2 Mini cane completion. Yippee - Hooray! I gots two from each participant. One set for me and one set for WCI.

I have assembled both stes into a movie/slide presentation. Since I don't know how to post a movie/slide show here; you can view it at this site:

Thanks for being such a great host Tom H. This was great little experience. I know the next round you would like to have a new mix of carvers, but I will keep my eye open for some opportunity.

Thanks again to you and all the participants. Tom Ellis

Frank, I got my little segment today, and my cane is finally complete. Now maybe I can get some sleep at night. Do the numbers mean that he is your 33rd carving? Nice job, and thanks for being in this.

I feel like I was a winner here as to see all of the carvings. Nice job to all of you and Tom, I really enjoyed following along with the pictures and the postings. Thank you Tom for getting both the 1st and 2nd one going.

Got a Santa from Blake Lunsford today and love him. Only two more to come before mine is complete. Really enjoyed this exchange.

Tom, the numbers are the year and number for the year. 0933 would be number 33 this year and it is 86 since I started in 2007. I keep a book of what each piece is and about 98% percent of them are 3/4" somethings, mostly faces of some sort.

I have a very long way to go to even come close to comparing with you all. But, I enjoy the challenge and participating in this and the last one has really challenged me to grow. Thank you all so much for letting the novice play with you all!!!

I didn't get to do this last time because the digi I had was less than desirable. But here is all the fellas lined up ready to go.

They look great Buckskin can't wait to get mine.
You are doing great and if you just keep practicing and enjoying what you are doing, then you will only continue to get better. (or more refined as I like to think of it).
