Thank you, Bob K
Thank you, Merle
Thank you, Claude
Thank you, Arthur
Thank you, Denny the secret is using some #9 copper wire & solder

I appreciate your comments. I'm going to pull away from carving for a bit;
I was telling Denny my crazy Idea about how to put whisker on a face or grass on a scene. I'll be playing around with that a bit, will post my results for those of you who might be interested.

The other thing that I would like to build is a Lichtenberg wood burner. I think the fractal burning is kind of cool.

The lady who does Pam's nails is open a rustic furniture store & is wanting me to some of my carvings through her store. I was thinking maybe some of these fractal burnings would be a hit.
??????????

That is a pair to draw to Joe, ice and fun carvings

[drhandrich]

i have seen a bunch of youtube of the lichtenberg method , mesmerizing to watch and enjoy the finished product. all variable according to wood, solution, strength , amount applied. gotta be an art by itself just learning the prep of it.

[drhandrich]

joe, try a fractal burned grizzly carving !

[Tinwood]

Really like those two carvings JP. Great job. And thanks for the info on the fractal wood burning. I'd never heard of such a thing before. Very enlightening.
