The Mahogany one with the curly headdress, has been sitting here laying around watching the goinz on and gettin happy knowing his turn was coming. I had to let him dry out a bit and he is ready to go. Swampy, Everything looks like it is a GO from here for a few daze. Next tuesday I go to a hospital for a trial run on a morphine pump which will put me out of comission about a week and if they decide to install the contraption I'll be laid up another 2 weeks or so,,, they Don't know. MEanwhile back at the ranch, these guys are pieces I started and never finished for various reasons. They will be finished now. When these are done i might feel like carving something Not on the list, which in that case, I will offer it to peeps already on the list. I will try to be as fair as possible and give everyone a chance at getting one of my worthless peices . I also will try not to keep posting duplicate pic's and I will Post fewer pic's to speed things up. Hiltiki, these pieces each has his own personal feeling and mana, which is different from any of the others. When I pick him up, his charm comes through and follows through to the original , his flow is maintained.Thanks for the great question. HEy McTiki, come around one of these dayz!! Yeah I could create and sell the rough-outs but they wouldn't be done and that is the fun; creating the idea and roughing out that idea and then finishing it where it ALl comes together and becomes the magical thing that we all love Freddimon, Thanks for the props. I Hope I can keep enough stuff goin on to keep you enthused enough to keep carving and keep you Wanting to crve and learn. For my mental stability I need to keep things different and fresh. If I start to get like a cookie cutter, I would shrivel up and float away So if that fits your needs, you will find it here. My newest tool is the wood burner which is acting like a small V-Liner which adds dark color as it goes, I am still using all the other chisels, grinders, chain saws and chain disc cuttersand hand chisels mostly. Each piece of wood demands different tools Well thanks again everyone for starting this thread off nicely. Goodnight. More tomorrow. PS, I have been thinking about getting a tattoo done, any suggestions? I want to do one of my carvings on my arm so maybe we'll have a contest More later.

Thanks GMAN.
