Default Sneak Peek 3 - Rain Forest stick
Making some progress but the photos don't show it well.

I posted two photos horizontally so it would show a little more.

Looking real impressive Ron! Be great when you finish it. You going to sell it?... you may have said but I can't remember.

Ron,

As usual I saved the photos to my "Inspirations" folder and then looked at them with the MS Photo Viewer so I could zoom in and out. I am in total awe of the detail you are getting on this piece. So many little vignettes of rain forest life and so exquisitely done. This stick could almost illustrate a National Geographic article!!! You've set the bar so far up there I can't see it anymore!

Has Chi picked a totem yet? Great work, Oginali!

L.P.

I too am in awe of your carving details I kept thinking it would be great to see in WCIs 3-D revolving pictures. That is something I will admire but not attempt way out of my carving ability

It is looking so great one of these days I may venture into major work like that on a stick.

Hi Mateo,

Good to see you here. Thanks for your comments. I think it is
