Default Twilight wolves

Thanks again,Old Tn

Don't know how you do it old buddy, seems like your fingers would get tired working on those little things. Glad you got the big order but miss your stories and wonderful larger carvings, you know, the ones that are over 2".

Forrest!

Some people count sheep when the go to bed...I gather you'll be counting wolves! You must have the patience of Job!

How does that song go...

"There were 99 wolves to carved, to be carved...99 wolves to be carved! He sliced, and he slashed and he chipped away, now there's 98 wolves to be carved!"

Fingers?? I can't feel my last two on my right hand here this morning. I have a bad right hand from my night club days. I wear a metal brace at nights to bed,it helps.

I will have the rest of this month to get all 100 carved,which leaves me just enough time to still do my house hold chores!{plus a few honey do's}
One thing Im gald of,gosh finally finishing the Mtn Town carving.
My super friend, I thank you for your thoughts here.

Forrest

P.S You know Dan I dont really complain alot,attending & seeing Drs at the VA,Im there alot?? Seeing our soldiers with all the pains and wounds they have alot dont even have a arm very less a hand,heck I dont mind how mine feels.

Eddy another good friend,that was funny!! But it kinda goes like this: I cry and come-plane at times about my hand but Im getting known as the wolfman. Its not that my teeth are growing alot longer and my hair is down to my shoulders in a bunch but maybe its I eat and sleep carving my little wolves even for lunch.
Or now my little dog takes me out for my walk in the grass,I sure hope theses feeling dont last. When a full moon comes up,I start howling but I hope to get that under control as much!

Life is good being a wolf carver? Carving them tinny is fine and saves alot of the good wood and less carving time.

My last thoughts is I appreciate you my good friend, see you outside when the moon is full again!!!

LOL--------Forrest

P.S Eddy,I only have patience with my art work and carving,at most every thing else,I thinking at 100 plus mph. Really but Ive slowed down since I was young and healthy. Thks again old buddy for your neat thoughts.
