Default Posted a few fish pics
Just posted a few shots of a brook trout and bluegill I did a few years ago and finally found the pics. I'll try to get some better ones uplater. These are carved in aspen and painted with acrylics. The lily pads and flowers were made from brass sheet and rod and painted with acrylics.

Yep, Randy, I do like the aspen for carving. It's a mite harder than basswood, but holds detail really well. It is also fairly free of obvious grain, much like basswood.

Thanks for the kind words, guys! I'll have to get off my dead butt and start carving again.
