That's quite a range of carvings there Christina. The sign looks very much like your avatar. Look forward to seeing them completed.

Thanks Al. I have more fairy houses done now. I spent all day yesterday working on more.

Patrick, the avatar carving is what inspired the commission for the sign I'm working on. She insisted on the same shape as mine, even though mine is from about 800 years previous to her time period in historical reenactment. Her persona is from the early 14th century. That's where accuracy goes out the window, and creativity gets precedent. I think it will be nice when it's done.

Thanks Merle, I am still a little afraid of the chainsaw, but fear can be a healthy thing. I go real slow, and for now, I'm working on completing pretty small pieces. I have a couple of chairs I'm working on too, but I'm not sure I'll ever get them done. Sometimes the mistakes cannot be corrected. I'm glad they can burn if they don't turn out well. :0

I always enjoy seeing your work. Looking forward to seeing the last two finished (as I guess you are too!) .
