Re: Maggie May
Rob Roy...named after the famous highway man? That is neat! Curious is a good name for a boat too. I hear that teak is near impossible to find now so restoring the boat must be more than hard work..... I imagine a good deal of luck in finding wood, helps too. My husband just looked at some used tools and the man had some teak for sale too. I talked him out of buying the teak because unless you have a specific use for it, you don't really need it sitting around. I thought the guy wanted too much for what wood he had there. Some walnut mixed in and he wanted $200 for a hand full of 8 foot boards. I guess I am spoiled. I am used to getting good wood a lot cheaper than that and since I don't carve teak, I don't want it..... Thank you again for your very kind comments on my carving. Miss Maggie is only about 16 inches long so you could do that with your mahogany.... would you leave her natural then? I can't wrap my head around painting mahogany...now that's nice wood! I will volunteer this much toward your future project....if I had it to do over again, I would make her all one piece instead of carving the arms separate. I think they would have turned out better and more natural looking.
Hi Sharon, Cheers to you too! Thank you for your comments. I hope you get to carve again soon. Not carving will drive a girl to drink....
