Mitch, there's one small thing. Some parts of the carving are always done as a scoop not a block cut. See you at ClA to explain.

Thanks Bill look forward to your input at the CLA.With the addition of James' photo I think I know what you speaking about and look forward to your thoughts!!!

I like it alot. Did you use the stab in method for the out line cuts?

Yes is was done by stabbing in with various gouges and Gary's little stamping tool.



Looking forward to seeing everyone at the CLA,please stop by and say hi!!!
