| I thought I would share my lastest project with you. He stands 14"tall carved from basswood. I am not happy with the paint job. Being that I see what I see in black and white I can tell it needs help. I should have left him natural. It took me about 50 hours to carve him. Let me know what you think. Ron

| Dang it Ron, ya put me to shame. You have a style all of your own and a great one at that. You may only see black and white, but don't be ashame at that carving. You done good my friend. I like your style of carving and what expression you get from your carvings. A lot of people with good eyes can't carve that well let alone paint. I like him.

| Ron, Another fantastic carving all I can say is Wow! Ron there is nothing wrong with the painting the carving or anything. That would be a fantastic carving for someone with sight and I know how little sight you have. I have to agree with your statement at the bottom of your threads. "If a blind man can carve anyone can". You never cease to impress me sir love your style but more than anything I love your determination. We can all take a lesson from you my friend you are not handicapped not one little bit because you dont let yourself be. I think you should go on the road and do inspirational lectures, people could learn a lot from you. BTW how are you making out with your seeing eye dog when do you pick him up? Colin

| Colin said it well you should be very proud of your carving. I love the color and could not have done better myself. I for one would love to hear you speak. I often show others your work when they are they are complaining how hard the work is at the business that I work at. Not hard at all compared to what others have to do. I do love seeing your work.

| Thank You everyone for your kind words. I get the most of my encouragement to keep trying from all of you. Colin The last I talked to the school the in New York state I am scheduled in for a class in mid august. When I find out the date I will let you know. I plan on talking to them tomorrow or the next day. As far as speaking I did do several talks to 3rd and 5th grade students the last of the school year and I think they want to send me out more when I get my dog. Again Thanks all for the comments. I am still waiting to find a picture of a michigan state trooper. Or here is an idea if anyone wants to post a picture of their state police man I will try and do them. I need to post a new picture Colin I repainted the pants and stripe. Ron

| Ron, I think he looks great. No need to worry about the colors--the colors are yours to choose--whether they're right or wrong, only you can say. But as far as I can see, they're great. As Kenny says, you have a great style of your own. Great job!!

| Great work Ron. He resembles a friend of mine who reinacts as a Mountain Man. Colour looks good, carving looks great! Bob
