In between the barn project I have been working on this church relief. It is one of Lora Irish's patterns Ashby burned for me. It is 16x21x2" on basswood.I have no idea how she has hers detailed so I am winging it. As you can see I still have allot to do just a preview of what I am doing.

Ron....it's gonna be a beauty! I am clueless as to how you do this....I have enough trouble carving, even with sight! It's incredible t me that you are able to do what you do....what an inspiration you are! Bonnie

Ron,

Good start. I can see where the steeple gave you a bit if trouble but looks like you pulled it off.

Talked to Goody, yesterday he will be here the 8th , and so will Colin , will be sending him an email for directions today. Getting everything set up inbetween finishing the Eagle .

Talk to you soon

The steeple was a tricky part I still don't like it where it meets the roof. I will study on it. Too hot to carve today 110 in my shop. Sounds like a good plan Ash. I will talk to you later this week.

Here is an update on the church I have been working on. I didn't have a real productive week but did manage to get the trees and bushes textured. I think sometimes things just aren't ment to be and this week was proof to that. But that's is another story for another day. Let me know what you think.
