Thank you Mark,
Those kind of coments coming from a professional like youself really means a lot to just a guy who does this for grins, I just show my carvings with hopes of winning a ribbon or two.
Thanks again.

If you're doing it for grins it must be ear to ear!Seriously,,great piece ,,I really do enjoy looking at it,,could do it for a long time,,esthetically just pleasing,,relaxing,,contemplative,,and as I said,,alive,,harmony in motion,,yet captured in time,,it's just that magical combination that works! Not sure if everyone sees it,,let alone judges,,but who cares,,they'll see it once,,I'd look at it a lifetime,,,nicely executed piece.No bells and whistles,,just solid carving,,it always works when done well,,,Period.
