| | All in a days work Hi gang,
I am busier than a one armed paper hanger in a wind storm with flea's but thought I would share my latest project with you. This is in a Norwegian Spruce stump about 12 feet tall and 14 inches wide. It is one of two tree's I am doing for the client. You can see the other tree in the back ground in some of the pictures. I will be doing the other stump tomorrow and will post pictures when I get home if I dont fall asleep.

| | Re: All in a days work Nice job on those spirits, must take long arms to reach 12 feet!
I guess you use scafolding? When you do a stump do you put the scafolding all the way around or just on two sides?

| | Re: All in a days work I like the woodspirit's expression! Looks like a woodcarver's... "Oh %$&#!" ...expression after cutting the nose off a carving!

| | Re: All in a days work Isn't it great to be in demand Colin!!!!! You're famous now, so live with the the life style.  I just hope that your bank account is being reflected in proportion to your schedule?
I'm sure you do Colin, but take time to spend with your family, that grandson especially, he'll be missing you if he doesn't get to spend much time with you.
Well done on the spirit, we have come to expect high standards from you and it is good to see that you are maintaining them.
