You can tell by all of the heartfelt reply here, that you did the right thing. I can only imagine what will happen around here when Tassie isn't here, don't even want to think about it ∙∙∙∙∙

All I would be able to accomplish with something this small is a bunch of blood stains, great job

[joepaulbutler]

Claude, this is a really good flat plan carving

[joepaulbutler]

Trying to incorporate a little carving with some electric etching into one piece, Used an oil burner transformer on this one. Got all the burners I need just need to improve on my technic
Any C&C welcome

[joepaulbutler]

[joepaulbutler]

Yippers, There is no doubt about it, you got the bug. Looking good...

I still just sand the handle with 80 grit the give a couple of coats of Tung oil. I find it drys to a good gripping surface, without the hindrance of something else on the handle

[joepaulbutler]

that is kind of the way it is with Xmas presents, always got to do 7 of the same things. They all display differently, maybe in boxes

[joepaulbutler]

Great start, and once you start adding style to the handles, it is an endless chase. Again great start

This is a dandy bottle stopper, looks like he has spent lots of time out in the sun. Lynn Doughty's way of carving a hat sure works.
