Bob, Don't know where the time goes, but I can warn you about what you have to look forward to. When you're older, time goes faster. I've noticed that recently the weeks have at least 2 Fridays. Never enough time to get done all that you wants to get done.

Tom It's only 2" thick! That's the power of working in levels and using the undercut to create shadows.

But in some of the corners, trying to tease out the wood sometimes it feels like it might as well be 10 feet away.

I haven't posted the work on the ship for awhile. I am going to start working on the sea waves after I do more on the side of the ship. I need to round it out more and also work on the little island in the far right distance. Still allot to do just taking my time trying to get it just right.
