Default Thank you for the compliments.

Your cavings are absolute works of art!

I started carving dragons, and other stand alone creatures. I then looked at my life experience and went with Aikido. The best thing is that if I want to carve something all I have to do is video myself, capture it, print, and get some carbon paper for the transfer.

Thanks Again

Welcome to the forum MadCarver. This carving and the other reliefs on your site are very good and unique. I don't think I have seen other carvings that illustrated martial art movement with more than one character. I have a Samuri roughed out in my shop but I can't get motivated to finish it. Hope you enjoy the conversations on the forum.
