Best Wishes To All You Veterans Out There!

The internet is the new "Wild West!" There's so much fraud and infringement going on that if you're not one of the major players like Disney, YouTube...etc., it's best not to post anything that you don't want copied. Just ask some of these celebrities who now forever occupy a space on the...

Herb... Can you absolutely say with complete assurance that it's a steer and not a bull? To the rest of us uninformed a cow by any other name is still a cow! Cute carving!...

I've been downloading all of Doug's carving videos since he started. Excellent reference material but like Gene Messer's YouTube video's....you soon get overwhelmed with all the projects that you want to take on.

Wow! ..... My Time 1963-1971, US NAVY, Vietnam, 65', 67', 68',69...

Me, I leans towards a Swifter!...

Happy 244th Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps!

Greetings my friend! Nice work but I just have one question? Do they really have "Gnomes" in OZ?

You can try to get glue into the voids but it's a lot more fun whittlin' yourself another handle out of some exotic wood. I've done just this many times and usually my retro turns out to be a favorite knife.

Outstanding!

Excellent job. I just finished reading "The Revenant" and it was the first thing to come to mind when I saw your work.

[Eddy-Smiles]

Good question! You might have to break out your calculator.... a2 + b2 = c2

Just kidding! Grain pattern is the key!

Woody... The only time I use super-glue is when I chip out a major chunk of something that's not supposed to be chipped out and preferably where no further caving is to take place....

Nice recovery Rontana! As Gunny Highway said, "Improvise, adapt, overcome!"

No winners or losers as long as everyone participates and gives it his best. These boards are very easily snapped so it doesn't take brute strength to break one or even two or three together. The mindset is more on the focus and technique than strength. Before the world changed and these Paulownia boards...
