[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1090048[/ATTACH] I think the best part of carving is dreaming up a display and figuring how you can make it come about. Then when it turns out pretty good you feel the real accomplishment. I started 5 or 6 years ago trying to figure a design and how to make the parts looks good. The 2 flying scissertails was that project. Just 2 weeks ago I made a stab at putting the red bud, buds on with a few leaves. Finished it up and it turned out good, as they say a keeper. The slippers were another one. Now on to another project, hope it does not take 6 years to figure out.

AND, TA DA....his scissortails just won a blue and the red tailed hawk got blue and Chairman's choice award at the Woodcarvers of Northwest Arkansas show in Rogers this past weekend. Awesome carvings.

Paul & Donna, we can visit at the show and arrange something. I always enjoy sharing and the good gab sessions. See you at the show.

Charles, having seen them firsthand, I know how cool they are and how much work you put into them. Great job!

Paul, we should get together with Charles and have a habitat making session. He's a great teacher! I'll admit that soldering is one of my many weaknesses. See you in a couple of weeks!

Great job... you never cease to amaze me with what you come up with. Love the colors as well.
