Thanks much Ben...Johnny and Paipo...I freely admit that there isn't much here yet...or at
least not much to get excited about. But I assure you I won't quit digging until I get a little
enthused.
Paipo...you are right...I delve into resource material until I get a basic concept...sketch it
to remind me where I was originally headed...and make things up as I go. I am really impressed
with the carvers who can work out a specific design and DO IT....I just can't. I have been
putting in a lot of time and I just turned the corner last night from "potential burnpile" to
"potential keeper"...we'll see what happens next...thanks again

Oh...and Paipo...I have been spending a lot of time viewing your thread...wonderful work...I am
really impressed by what you are doing....you are highly skilled.
