Big T - I don't remember why I got the wood burning tool but it seems I'm using it more these days. My earlier stuff isn't burned. Just another paint brush in the kit to add some accent I guess. Or maybe just too lazy to carve. :wink:

Conga - I love all primitive art and have many influences both alive and dead. I really like the pre-Columbian American stuff most notably the Olmec. I don't really mind if styles get mixed up in most cases. I do have one carving in my closet that can't figure out if he's from Peru or the south seas. (or perhaps the carver can't figure it out) I believe it's too late to change course. I'll have to pull him out and stare at him for a couple of months and see if I can salvage him. Wasted my best log on him too. I hate when that happens.

Benz - Yes that burn took much longer that I thought it would. . .almost three hours. And take heart, in our more southern latitudes, spring is just around the corner.
