Old Salt almost completed

[Colin-Partridge]

Hi Gang,
I know I have not been around for ever. Some frustrating things going on and the Christmas rush got me a little stressed. Not that I am not handling it all but I have had no time to sleep let alone post. So not to annoy anyone I have not answered any posts. I will try to get on pretty regular now almost through my commissions two and half more to go before Christmas Eve and I can sit down and relax with the family for Christmas. Here is a picture of the old salt just about finished. It needs another coat of paint and a finish and it will be all done. He stands about four feet tall. He is about 90% chainsaw carved. I carved him with my new little Redmax carving chainsaw that I purchased at the Fox Chapel Open house. I am so impressed with this little saw if you would like any information on it please feel free to contact me.
Of course comment and criticism are always welcome.

Nice touch with the new saw. I must have one soon, maybe it is coming from Santa.
I hope you have a great Christmas and can get back to the gym in the new year.

I don't know Ash, The eyes definitely sayd it is Colin's for sure.
Nicely done Colin. I see there will be many chainsaw carvings from you since you purchase the new Chain saw.

Wow! That's quite a change from I'm used to seeing from you. Variety is good.

Ol' Salt is just the kind of fellow that I always like to run into for swapping tall tales when traveling around the country. Great work!
