Gary, Looks like a fun piece of wood I love the flow to the piece found wood and driftwood are so much fun to carve because you see the carving before you actually plan it. Nice job so far keep us posted.

Hi Gary, looks like you have a nice piece of driftwood to work with, and I think your work looks good. I was wondering what do you use to hold your wood in place while you carve. I've been using my hubby's work bench vise. I put bubble wrap between the work and the vise jaws. I love that I can have both hands free to carve and I find I don't make as many slips with the knife or chisel.
