Nice work, I never carved bark, I like to get some one day, I like the clean lines in the hair.

Gary, excellent spirit as are all the spirits of yours I've seen. You must have a great source for bark where you are. I've only ever had one piece, it's too dang expensive here in the cold north country.

Gary, Just the right size! For me that is! A very fine carving, and I mean fine in several ways. Fine meaning really good. And fine meaning very clean crisp lines. I don't know how you can achieve that look in bark. You must have "harder", more dense bark than I have. The color also is much lighter than what I have used. Very very nice though.

I gotta get me some of that bark. When I see results like this, it certainly makes you wish you had some.

Nice and vibrant... and the wood has a lot of character too with the shape and cracks. Nice work!
