Fballs - Thanks man. He's not done yet. I put the first coat of oil on him today and he looks much better. After the third he'll be ready for a few more pics. I'll post'em when I shoot'em.

Marcus - Thanks. Having toolz has helped a lot. All my small toolz/chisels got sold with my parents estate. I've been slacking on replacing them. Now that I've purchased a few things I can go back to carving more complex pieces again. This little guy is almost done but I have a bit of work left to do with the finish. I'll post pics of him again soon.

Benzo - Yeah man, Hickory! I needed something good and strong. This will be a handle for one of my hunting toolz. We will call this the Crocodilian Medicine Staff (or the Thunder Stick). Here are a few pics I took as I worked today. The pics don't show it well. This is going to be a working tool and it's gonna get kicked around a lot. The last pic is as is sits, after sanding one coat of oil. He'll get a few more coats of oil and two abalone eye inlays over the next few days.

Thanks for looking,

G
