Thanks Bob! I was blown away to see it there! I just listed it on ETSY yesterday after my husband urged me to. I wasn't even going to try to sell it because I put so much time into it. I don't know if it will sell or not, but I feel honored that Madcap featured it!
Maybe us carvers will get more respect!!! LOL

Sharon,
Great carving. I discarded a half carved piece (driftwood) because a huge split was revealed as I carved it. I am wondering now if I did the wrong thing?

Hi Ted, haven't been on here in a while, so I missed this. Thank you!
Most of the driftwood I have carved with cracks, doesn't seem to crack any more.
It's when It's still green or partially green, that I get concerned about.
if you still have it, give it a try.
