If there was a class offered close to Sparks, I would certainly make myself available, my knowledge has been mostly hunt and peck

Painting isn't one of my favorite things to do. I use to never do any, but the wife thought I should and then for a while she helped. I agree that some are best shown unpaint or maybe just a few highlights, but fully paint carvings help make some carving, sorry to day

What a clean, flowing carving

[joepaulbutler]

Oh boy, something else to clutter my room up with , thanks for the post, Randy. I'm a lot like Merle, except I wear a pair of heavy horsehide gloves, but it is definitely something to keep in mind

It is funny that you say this. IAs I have mentioned before, my folks had a meat packing plant~from hoof to locker~ But I started on the killing floor when I was six, running guts, stripping the fat from the intestine so it could be rendered and the tallow sold to the state pen to make soap.

Detail, Detail, Detail, if you were a runner, you would probably do the 10K race.
Each picture it just gets better

I've fiddled around with the ezboard and Palight

After getting samples and availability I went with the Palight, basically because of the ease of securing.

I dose work well and takes...
