Great work and a happy 4th to you also, Merle....

[woodburner807]

Thanks, John. In the old days, our family would have a 5th on the fourth.

[woodburner807]

Nice unique work and fine carving...very inventive.

[woodburner807]

Amazing details and certainly a nice piece of art...well done.

[woodburner807]

Nice work, Anders, and curious how tall he is? He sure looks like a "worker bee."

[woodburner807]

I just did a quick search for "whale carving patterns" and numerous patterns came up. You might also do an image search. Welcome and hang in here for a while, members are very helpful

This is a helpful forum, but folks have to do a basic search first. Even search this forum....

Excellent and appropriate carving...happy Fourth to you also, Don.

[woodburner807]

Might try a Google search and there should be a lot out there.

[woodburner807]

Well, great work and will surely be appreciated, Ed. Remarkable piece....

[woodburner807]

I know Sue and she does amazing pyrography, and I'm always in awe. Total excellence. I still dabble a bit in the pyrography but am now focused on carving.

Sounds like you have a great selection process, Merle...better than mine. I just use the web mostly.

Thanks.

[woodburner807]

Very nicely done, Merle, and what drives your selection of images to burn? Seems like everyone you do is excellent and a fantastic idea.

[woodburner807]

Absolutely stunning work and detail...great to follow the progress. Thanks for posting.

Depends on when you were there, Denny, however anytime there is a River Run some things happen. I think it was in early 2002 and the Mongols and Angles had a conflict and several were killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Run_riot

Yeah, the annual "River Run" (usually April) was total chaos and my wife worked at one of the casinos there. Certainly an interesting time until the shoot out in Harrah's casino...that changed things a lot. I just stayed inside most of the time.

[woodburner807]

Very nicely done and it will become a great heirloom, Merle. Great thought and sparks some ideas in my mind...thanks.

Some people use mineral oil also...however I am partial to the olive oil....

[woodburner807]

You can also dry camp in some casino lots. Not sure how they are reacting to the virus though?

[woodburner807]

Nice utilitarian piece and curious how you will finish it?

[woodburner807]

Had a Pullen and work fine for cutting trees/branches...no carving.

[woodburner807]

Very intricate work and reminds me of the patience needed for those wooden clocks. He certainly made a proud piece.
