alright....I finally busted away from the carving after three hours of exploration and another
half hour gazing at it....communicating...and all of this without intoxicants.
Thanks to all.
Finky...the basswood is wonderful to work with...but...occasionally crumbles at fine detail points...
you would have to ask a real expert but I think it might be really tough to hold detail on the
pendant size stuff.
Kingsteidye and P Drake...thanks for stopping in to take a look....I might cut back on tennis but
if I spend any more time with this guy I could wind up divorced. Actually my better half is
very supportive of what's going in the garage...and she knows I'm obsessive/compulsive.
Thanks TikiGAP...you handed me my first mai tai at CoonTiki...I'll always remember you for that!
and Ben...Johnny and GMan...many thanks...you have always been very supportive of my odd-ball stuff...
I want you to be proud of ole' Conga on this one!
You understand how it works GMan...this ain't workin'.
This has been a long process and I really appreciate all the "sugar coated" comments on this
feller...first post was April 22 and 28 pics later I still have a hell of a long way to go.
