Hello again.

I'm trying to load some pictures but I don't think I have it quite right. I couldn't even find Bob's technical help post. Anyway, please excuse me.

Okay, it worked.

Here's a small carving I did last year of a frog riding on the back of a turtle. It's in boxwood.

Ron, it is indeed a pleasure to meet you, I have just spent an enjoyable half hour looking at your web site. Funny thing, I jumped right to your stick page and by golly, I said to myself "this fella has Asian roots somewhere along the line". What a surprise when I clicked on your profile. I'm sorry to hear about your disability, I hope you can continue to carve as long as possible. You are a great asset to our forum and I welcome you abourd and hope to see more of your beautiful work. I have seen your stick somewhere else on the net, the one with the braided beard, I printed out a copy of that and have it in my file some where, I will probably never get to do it but I really like that one. Bestr regards my friend.

Hello guys,

Thank you for your comments.

Cliff, I was hoping to hear from you. I was reading through the "new member" threads last night and saw a number of your posts. Very humorous and supportive. I'm glad you like my "Mongol". I was looking for something that would be my own design, if there is such a thing and was thinking about Yul Bryner in one of his old movies. Anyway he mwas my inspiration. I later found a picture of him in the movie and my carving looks nothing like it but it got me started.

Welcome Ron, what wonderful work you do, and what an inspiration you are. I looked up your web page.It was very enjoyable reading.

Ron, I am glad you're here, and posting photos of some really nice carvings. I like the scale of your carvings, especially the turtle and the frog. All of your carvings have a "softness" to them. This is particularly pleasing to the eye (at least my eye). Thanks for sharing..
