Lynn,
congrats on making it in Chip Chats again. a carving friend of mine gave me some old ( I mean old ) chip chats to read ,and in the oldest book there was old Lynn O Doughty . so this is not new to you, but congrats anyway.
while we are on the subject you told us before but I forgot. how did you make that coffee pour out of the cup on "who made this coffee."
Just old Jim

Jim......I hate to ask just how "old" that Chip Chats was. Hope it was a good photo and that I've improved some since it was taken.

The Coffee......After I had completely finished the figure and mounted it to the completed base, I drilled a hole directly beneath the cup lip and epoxied a bent wire from the cup down into the hole. This gives support to the additional epoxy that I filled the cup with and allowed to drip down the wire. Once that set up I did a little additional modeling of epoxy to make the puddle and then painted and finished up with a couple coats of gloss poly. It's a neat trick and I think it worked really well. Took a couple Blue Ribbons and sold almost immediately.

Lynn, I believe it was the issue print just after Dirt was invented!

None the less, Congrats to you anyway. Well deserved.

Thank you for your tips.

Lynn,
you are in a class of your own. anybody who can carve with a box knife (who would have thought of that) I have no idea where you get some of your ideas.But they are good. Even the way you carve horses.(1/2 at a time) thank you for sharing with us your great carvings and how you carve them. Even if you have a poor attitude about blo. lol
Just old Jim
