Back issues. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/backissues.php I wouldn't care to do this as there is enough logs around and I wouldn't trust my skill enough to not damage a tree. I don't think I could deface a living tree. But if you are going to try, it seems this guy has it worked out. But even the article says there is always risk of killing the tree or weakening it to the point of disease. JP [ Edited by: JohnnyP 2006-01-14 13:05 ]
