Thanks everyone! :D

JohnnyP, I try to keep my carvings as clean as I can. I think it makes up for what I lack in talent.

rodeotiki, Thanks again. I had a Maori looking thing on there originally, but it just wasn't working for me. I like this way better too.

Benzart, it's always nice hearing comps from you. I liked the zebra wood even though it was a bit tough with the hand tools. I had to keep the design very simple though because any detail just got lost in the grain. I'm carving the Black Walnut you sent me. It's very nice to carve and it seems to hold a lot of detail, but I don't think it's as pretty as Mahogany.

CongaTiki, Mahalo to you too! I would love to be that busy carving, then I could quit my job and have fun for a living.

Bete, it's always great to hear from all of you. It's the real reason that I'm able to carve at all. Thank you!

BTW everyone, when I got my new computer I lost my carvings-to-do list. I believe I got to everyone, but if you are waiting for a pendant please let me know and I'll get one to you. :)
