hey LLT! what's up, man? good to be breathing again!!! i do have four small paintings posted. i think?

here's some pics: first the bowl that won't be much of a bowl, but a good table-top table? yea. second, the tang guy i started tue. this was four hours with the lancalot on the grinder. first time i ever used one, and wow!! i think i mentioned before- the coolest and most dangerous power tool i've ever come across(for carving) could easily gone even faster if i knew what i was doing from the start. fun but sketchy. i'm used to using the grinder a lot anyway, so this thing was just too comfy in my hands. but knowing the instant removal of multiple fingers was only inches away at all times kind of freaked me out a bit.

this non-bowl is 18-20" h about 2' wide-it's sable palm and is too soft and fibrous deep in to do much with. no prob, they'll still be cool when finished.




and of course the lancelot.

i can't wait to get this thing down. hopefully still have all fingertips and knuckles intact.
thanks for looking!
