Here is one of my burnings http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.co...00/ppuser/3480
Looking forward to seeing more woodburnings from you.

: Like I told Ms Nedra I know I'm outclassed on this site, just makes me want to try harder. Love your work and am looking forward to visiting as many profiles as I can. Semper fi pogerope!

Welcome aboard marine! You burn pretty good ........ for a marine ......... but we are happy to have you aboard none the less! Lots of former swabbies, mud slingers and pigeons around on here, so you are in good company. Keep up the good work.

Sorry to hear about your leg but hope that you are up and about now.

BTW, where is Atmore? Al's kids and our grandson are in Huntsville. We were there in May visiting while our house was being done.

Glad you are now online and able to join in the fun.

Nedra

I have for the longest admired your work, think I know all of them by heart. I know I'm outclassed but that will only make me work much more determined.

Atmore? Small little town straight north of Pansacola Fl, east of Mobile about the same distance. Then about ten miles north east of there out in the toolies, have to sneak up on a dipper to get a drink of water.

I am completly ignorant of the word you used about the color, don't use that much anyway. Thanks for the compliments. Semper Fi pogerope

Nedra, I answered your post, don't know where it went!! I will often hit a key and what I have on the screen goes light years away into another universe.

Atmore, Al is about fifty some odd miles east of Mobile and about the same distance north of Pensacola Fl. Live on rural route so far out in the woods that one has to sneak up on a dipper to get a drink of water. Huntsville is so far north, people that lives there has to be yankee's Ha!

The question you asked me about the color I use, I'm completly out in the dark as to what you meant. I don't use very much or any, the beak and feet on the eagle just a little sealed in with a cruse of heat, will not smear. Shucks, don't want to sound so ignorant in fron of so many professionals.

Semper fi Nedra and leave a trail of smoke in the air!

Give em hell, I wish I was right there with ya!!! Can you make blood, gut and eyeball's look natural with the iron. Put some down but leave the stiench there, nothing smells worse, still have the smell in my nose from Nam. These modern wars are something now, in nam the only time I cranked the generator up was to cut the troops hair. Looking forward to seeing some camel's and towel heads on wood. Semper Fi pogerope

Well thank you sir, What a warm welcome from everyone. I feel out of place and am completly humbled with all the excellent finished pieces everyone has posted. Just hope I can give some input to anyone that is attracted to my mess, guess everyone has little different ways of doing things. Thanks to everyone! Semper fi! pogerope

Sorry for that brief post of not knowing really what I'm doing with one of these things (computers) I humbly eat humble pie! Semper Fi pogerope

Welcome Hollis!

I just finished looking at your work and it is absolutely fantastic! I only tried a single temperature once and ran screaming back to my razertip. I can't even begin to imagine what it takes to do that kind of detailed burning with the single temperature unit so kudos to you buddy!

Looking forward to getting to know you and see more of your work.

Regards,

Lindy
