That is a great self portrait Joe, Keep up the good work, and stay out of the mud.

[Tom Ellis]

That is terrible news Steve. Hope all goes well with your surgery. I am sure you have all of our prayers.

[Tom Ellis]

Beautiful Merle, I salute you. Happy Fourth.

[Tom Ellis]

Same to you Merle, I haven't carved my fingers off yet,, so hopefully I won't blow them off this weekend.

[Tom Ellis]

I think she looks pretty darn good Anders. Most of my women look like really old men.

[Tom Ellis]

Tom, You could add a piece down the back and tail for the ridges, Like you did the eyes.

[Tom Ellis]

Thank you Mark , Ed, and Herb. Glad you all stopped by, Now its time to try one.

[Tom Ellis]

Hi Joe, He is sitting on a glass patio table.

thanks Glenn, if you blow up the pattern 130%, You can use the side profile for a pattern with the original top view....

[Tom Ellis]

He came out just fine David. Nice to be able to work from a picture.

[Tom Ellis]

Thanks for stopping by Merle. It was my pic from this issue.

Thanks Claude.

Thanks Joe, didn't know you liked frozen chicken.

[Tom Ellis]

Thanks Bill, Take a look.

and thank you Joe. Just a warning, they taste like chicken.

[Tom Ellis]

I haven't seen any other posts of this little fella, and it was a fun little carve. Especially like how he did the details on the back. Wasn't crazy about the polka dot paint work though. I colored mine with green food coloring., and more realistic eyes.
Thanks for taking a look, and give...

[Tom Ellis]

Welcome back Jim, Always nice to have some new carvings to look at. Nice job on the knife too.

[Tom Ellis]

Hi Joe, I think that they are arguing that size does matter???

[Tom Ellis]

Now that is one set of talons Merle. Must be the last thing a salmon seed before he becomes dinner.

[Tom Ellis]

You are becoming the eagle master Merle. He looks fantastic. Base looks great too.
