Hi Greg, that is another very nice DW stick and a super topper. The diamonds are exceptional. I would love to see more photos.

Mornin folks,

Jo claimed this stick!... in the woods I think! We don't see that whorled diamond pattern often, but it is my favorite now, have a few others but they are much larger at 6" diameter bases. Whole lot easier to make lamps!...Ha!.........so, those pic's show the best of that stick! I am anxious to see the rest of the "Rain-Forest"...mine are just beginner's next your master carving Ron!

Tundra Buggy Tours in Churchill, Manitoba for the polar bears.
Big problems = very little and late sea ice so no seals so starvation issues.

You got the bear's forehead and nose bridge just right for a cub. Thanks for paying attention.

Thanks for your approval. Canada definitely has the polar bear populations...and yes, they will have to adapt to our climate changes.
Credit for that cub actually goes to one of my mentors....Charles Anthony!...he was retired by the time met. His work inspired me then, ...I think is forum is a great way to share our knowledge. Hope your retail venture works for you!

Greg
