Gene... As always, thanks for your comments and encouragement. I try to improve on each one that I do based on what I pick up from your videos. As I was mentioning to RonT the other day, my problem is that too much time lapses in between carvings and it's like starting anew on each project. I just need to carve more! Now if I could only find the time!

Forrest...

Appreciate you looking! You and Gene set a pretty tough set of standards to follow but your comments and encouragement are always welcomed.

I hope that everything is going well for you at the VA!

Hi Eddy, Your detailing is getting better and better. Brings back memories, as to think I looked like that once upon a time. Nice carving and painting Eddy. Merle

Jim, Merle, John, Bill... Thanks one and all. I appreciate you taking the time to look and comment. And Merle, I know how you feel. It was a long time ago, wasn't it? It doesn't seem like it though!

Dan... I could be wrong but I think that you may have it backwards.... But that still doesn't take anything away from the job that they do! Semper Fi!
