I've been carving cowboys and putting fences and saddles with them ....it takes longer to do that than it does to carve the cowboy....... boy I don't know it our country can stay together another 2 years with this yo yo in office. not that we have two wars now he going to get more of our boys killed...what business do we have trying to run someone's else country.....if we get one more soldier killed thats one two many.......

Hi. I was on the a message board with you . I'm now chip carving & as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer I want to make a few candle boxes & chip them. Fishcarcer2 (RonL11)

I wouldn't need any large pieces, a few small chunks that can be cut to pen stock would be nice......I have some maple pen blanks but they aren't spalted.

HI, Just to let you know that I'm fortunate to have quite a bit of the spalted maple and would be happy to share some, just pay the shipping. Most of the tree was cut & split for firewood, but there are still a lot of fairly large pieces. If interested, let me know and have a great day, Dan

I believe there are several posts on this subject....and even an article or two on the Woodcarving Illustrated Magazine....post this in open forum, you will get more info than you wanted lol
