Ash, geez I love the color and grain of that wood. Hat's off to the carver too. Please keep those images coming this is going to be on fantastic staff. Is it going to be hard to give up? Well, your keeping it in the family so it shouldn't be to hard.

Thanks Kenny ,
I think he will be very happy with it. It is already more than he expected , I showed it to my brother, and he said just amazing.

I think he meant that I was working but thats another story.

You know , I don't have a problem giving up my work. I personally have only two carvings that I have ever done. It is the first real carving I did. Everything else has be claimed or taken.

I do get to see most of them when I want to , and if I walk through the office I get to see them hanging or sitting on others desk. But even the ones I have given away , I still have them, for I can see everyone of them, just close my eyes and they are there .

Thanks for the compliments

Garry
