Jeez Thomp,
You get into more neat things to carve! I love the colors you put on them too. The little guy with the "yellow" beard is so cool.

How is your club coming along?

Thomas, Is that your self protrat next to last. Hey yours Thomp.

Great carvings! They should be sold as a complete set as they all seem to be part of the same family...with some culture in the mix.

Thomp, call the 800 number on the site and ask to speak to Allen, there's a good chance that he's around there. He's one of the finest you'll ever meet. Don't think that he has the "pattern only" available, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thomp,
In issue 14 of Carving Magazine, there is an article on Allen's Shelve Elf. It is a step by step article.
