Beautiful sign, Clayton! I really like the wood grain affect in the vines. Local lad makes some history of his own!

Looking good! I agree with you, a little darkening of the window frames would look nice, I'd think stain.

Now you just need the cape that goes over your lap! Watch the foot rest getting up, I have tripped over those!

Helpful tool, well carved!

Rick, check out santa with balloon at Christmas-Treasures.com. A wonderful little store hidden away in Oregon.

Wow! I can't answer your question on drying, but I LOVE your gnome tree! Very creative!

Nice carving, Cut up, and you have a good book to go by, watch out..they can become another addiction!

Thank you for looking, apparently "Lucky" videos have been around awhile, but I never see things like this unless some one sends them, as I am never looking. After saying I would never have a Chihuahua, I find myself with 2 chi mix breeds. Both old girls who needed a lot of medical care. Fortunately...

Hey John, what an elegant little rat! The tail turned out very nice, and the eye dropper for the bottle and glass..great idea! Is the vino paint?

This thread made me think, not a good thing for me. I carve a roast, or a turkey, but slice a ham...hmm. Yet, if I were an educated meat carver, I would be a butcher. Hmmm again. For myself and my simple carvings that I'll never sale, I'll call myself a wood carver, but never a wood butcher!

Another not a fan of reverse mortgages. Uvawyo is right-on with "discuss it thoroughly with your heirs." Your heirs get nothing out of your home unless they pay off the mortgage. They would be ahead selling your home without having to pay off a mortgage. If they just do not want to deal with...

Very cute, hope no cats are around!

Another beautiful stick, Merle! Wouldn't want to fall off a path with that stick, would be holding it up to not break it!

[sappy]

Great carving, in a beautiful setting for it! I'm not sure I could do that in 12 years! 12 hours is amazing to me!

Just an update; I took my simple stick hiking through part of the rain forest near Aberdeen Wa. and had a very peaceful time. The stick kept me from slipping off the trail twice, so I was glad to have it, and my little old rescue dog. I need to fix the wrap, but now I know that, learning experience....
