Dang, Herb, ya'll have your hands full! Please give Phyllis my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Nice work, Tim. You might like to see the eagles of John Shortell on his website. Here 's a War of 1812 Eagle I carved a few years ago, using a bit of color while leaving the eagle gold:

Well, I hesitate to "bite the hand that feeds me" by sponsoring this forum, but I'll add my two cents worth (adjusted for inflation, worth about zero).

After several years of subscribing, I did not renew. WCI just does not fit my needs, as I'm not interested in carving caricatures,...

It's a shame we lost so many photos and pictures from the hack. I really like to go back and see all the faces that go with the names we all know...but I wonder why there are so many no longer on the site, folks that contributed so much.

Of course, Heinecke has great wood, too, but they are...

Wow, Merle, what a milestone! A very happy birthday...a special one, for sure. You don't look 90 in your meme, lol! I always enjoy your posts.

Cute one, Wayne. Very "enlightening"!

Merle, I'm not surprised that the green pine held up like that. I'm still hitting roots with my mower from a huge pine tree I had removed over twenty years ago...they're still as sappy and hard as when they were live....

Hate to hear that, I really like their gouges....

Well done, Scott. What type of wood, and what tools did you use to hollow it out?

[Arthur C.]

Sow what? Typos happen lol!...
