Hey Errol, I tried the ole' rocks out of wood trick a few months back to mount on a walnut base for a goldfinch I'd done. Looked like little poop piles, so I scrubbed the idea. More power to ya!

thanks fellows, well Cliff, I'll keep going , maybe not as far at one time, but the way I travel, I may go 200 to 300 miles, then stay at one place for 4 to 6 weeks. Thats how I have always toured around. I just have to budget my fuel. I do sell my carvings from time to time..Just sold one 2 days ago, that was $125.00 , that will buy a "little" diesel LOL!

I think that looks great! And the "rock" base looks very realistic.
