Funny you see no chips, Cy.
When I don't know what to carve next I sweep up,
& hope it comes to me.
I sweep up a lot.
Mike this is the freshest Cypress I've ever carved.
This log was just cut down. The wood crys when I sink the chisel in.
It was picked out for the bell at the bottom,
now the headdress.
I don't know what will happen when it dries,
but it carves like a green apple now.
So far a real pleasure.
