I do not want to see you get all stressed out and have to go through all of the anxiety. Just mail it to me and I will go through all the pain and suffering of applying an appropriate finish. I will, of course, need to hold onto the piece until the finish has properly cured....it could be as long as three to four years - depending on the relative humidity here. I will PM you my address. In all seriousness, sweet carve man! -G$

It brings tears to my eyes to see that there are people out here who not only carve in that style, but als excell in it. Aloha! Marcus

LOL I have been trying to sell this but it has been so hard, I guess there really isn't a market for it here in Canada. I currently have some of my carvings being showcased in my local Library hoping for a break! Any ideas on where to sell this guy? Cheers & thanks again!
