| | A Lady w/ a Little Help from My Friends Here's the finished "Hooker Needs Help" stick.
My thanks to all of you who gave me input and advice, making the improvements, I hope, possible.
These are the before and after shots. If you can't tell which is which, I need more help. |

| | Re: A Lady w/ a Little Help from My Friends That is nice. Looks to me that female faces would be harder to do. I think I'll stick with rough, weathered faces for now. |

| | Re: A Lady w/ a Little Help from My Friends Ron, you definitely have a God given gift. She is absolutely gorgeous, you captured beauty in that one for sure. You should be very proud of every piece you carve, all things considered. Thank you Ron, it's a pleasure to view your work.
