Beautiful and ties in great with the building. Heck, free publicity is always a good thing.

Nice ideas there, Rotana. Where there is a will, there is a way. Luckily I don't have any problems other than a wrist that can act up and just use a brace. I do like the lap board and a good idea. I have something similar that I use on the table but do like the idea of something for the lap. Thanks...

I can always use free black walnut handouts, Merle.

Nice additions. Look at these results for your reindeer ideas/patterns/tutorials: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gene+messe...=v177-1&ia=web

A long journey for that wood but you did stick with it and it is beautiful work of nature...with a little help from you. Enhancing a found piece of wood certainly gives one a lot of appreciation for the work. The wood is something to be very proud of doing and it will find a useful purpose. Well do...

Really nice detail, Arthur and a nice composition. Well done.

[woodburner807]

Wow, a great start and the hat is nice...can't wait to see where you go with it.

Roughout Scott or from a pattern?

[woodburner807]

Nice pattern and easy to follow. Thanks for posting.

Never heard of chain pull painting and looked it up, Joe. Many youtube videos and it is an amazing technique and see limitless applications/uses. Your piece is very creative...please do some more. Thanks for posting it.

Nice and love the optical illusions...

[woodburner807]

Yep, I fall into the same rut and it seems a clean simple cut is better than trying to hack it to death by overworking it......

I'm partial to accenting the carvings with a pipe, cigar, or even a cigarette. Just seems to bring them to life. You did an excellent job and the "stubby" cigar is also a nice addition. All are nicely done Scott. Don't stare too much or too long for mistakes because most people won't notice...

[woodburner807]

Wow, Scott great piece and the pipe is a like a McArthur corn cob type...great. I usually add a touch of orange or red to the top of the bowl to indicate burning. A nice carving you should be very proud to have done.

[woodburner807]

Very nice carving, Scott and fine composition. The hole in the hat is a feature of the piece or is it meant to hang it...or something else? Ideas for a finish?

[woodburner807]

Wish you the best, Brian and hope you make a speedy recovery.

[woodburner807]

Both are fine and I'm partial to butternut...but I like the miner the best. Scene, humor, detail...great.

[woodburner807]

Nice gesture and great carving. Perfect background...

[woodburner807]

Pretty carvings and nicely composed pieces.

[woodburner807]

Well, that one is a feat and reminds me Celtic knots and such. Drives the eyes crazy.
