I did not what to hijack Robert Wolfe's thread on carving but I did want to say something about getting help/suggestions/ideas. The comments on that thread are great, they are the type that caught my eye when I first found this site, honest constructive criticism and suggestions to correct or improve whether it be on a finished piece or a work in progress. I for one am glad to see it. Not jumping on someone for mistakes or useless smart remarks but helpful comments and encouragement, I thought they were gone or maybe feelings had been hurt,
You cannot grow/improve without knowledge and the base here is unbelievable.
