Re: Icarus carving

Very dramatic design. I think the different words was a very good choice and the depth adds to the element of flight.

Re: Dire Wolf Cane Handle

I like dire wolves as a subject as well. You've done a splendid job with the shape of the wolf working into a cane handle.

Re: Moving to North Georgia

Hi Karen,
I live in Dahlonega, GA. Not far from Blue Ridge, and I go there a lot too.
You'll enjoy the white pine up here for carving quite a bit. It's my favorite. Cedar is beautiful, but that stuff can make you really sick if you breathe...

Re: Giraffe for new arrival

What a dear little giraffe. Great story to go with it, and I think it will be prized more than most "toys" since he saw your portfolio.

Re: Thrones for my son's wedding

thanks for the comments. I enjoyed the project very much, and my son and his new bride have them in their dining room.
I do hope they last a very long time.
William, they are carved in white pine. Your kind of wood.
Bob, thanks...

Re: 9 foot Sycamore Eagle I'm working on

Beautiful color to the wood. I can see why it stops traffic, and not just by its size.

I've been working on these two thrones, carved in white pine, for nearly 6 months. They are finally finished, and my son's wedding was last Saturday.
The wedding was rather "theatrical", so the thrones played an important role, and I was flattered that my son wanted me to do them....

Re: Borre style

Well done! Your lines are so even and straight. I'm impressed all round and I love the design you chose. I am not familiar with this particular image. Is it a reproduction from an original piece of jewelry? or an original based on that era and styles you have studied?...
