I haven't posted on my progress for a long time. This is my first build from a blank. It's based on the Albrecht attributed "Two tailed dog". However I don't plan to carve the dog. I'm going to base the carving on the signed Albrecht.
My good friend, teacher and mentor Jeff Talbert has guided me through all of the steps on this build. I am grateful and feel very lucky to be able to go to his shop and learn so much from Jeff. Here's some pics.
