Re: Brook Trout

Fantastic fish! You put a lot of curve in this one, I like it, it\\\'s as if you can see him move. Lar
ps The pics came across with the post instead of icons. Are you using photo bucket or some other software to import your pics.

I load my images on Photobucket. I copied the \"IMG\" box and directly pasted that into my post here.

While I seem to be functional, let me add a pic or two of the most recent carving, a male brook trout with his fall color on. I carve most of my fish from Jelutong anymore except for the fins. The fins seem to carve better (and feel better) when I use Tupelo. He is painted with all sorts of things (acrylic, powders, watercolor pencil, vine charcoal, etc). Used brush and airbrush. I used a bit of rock textured spray paint for the rocks, followed by painting the chosen color. Branch is pieces of Tupelo scraps joined together to form the shapes I needed.
