Thank you all very much for your kind words. I had fun carving this one and your posts get me fired to finish the next one!

Palm - I like how the frond remnants resemble hair and I think it worked on this one. thank you! Wood is Good!

surf - yes

JT - we need more stuff from ya, brah!

rodeo - I was actually going to carve the bandanna, but decided that having actual material with a little stuffing would look better. He also carries the rum bottle too. And what's a pirate without a sword? thanks bro!

Hewey - we'll get that pirate mug made yet, eh mate?

conga - I decided to stain the peg leg a darker stain at the last minute, I think it stands out a bit more, but still blends in with the piece. It's almost "accepted" as part of a pirate. thanks for the comp

Ben - thank you very much, that means a lot to me, coming from such a respected carver. carving is very therapeutic for me, I should do it more. You are the true mastah, Benzart-son

thanks sam!

aaron - he sure will! two pegs and one leg! :wink:

swampfire - thank you! you do AWESOME work (that outrigger print ROCKS!)
