Great start on the relief carving Conga! Looks like you really managed to get a lot of depth in there. I like the long ear too. Really cool. Here's hoping you find some new logs soon! |

Right on Conga! I always love the variety and creativity of work coming from your neck of the woods! Can you feel it? The seasons are starting to change. What a great summer though, and here's to hoping the 'Ol Man stays away a little longer this fall! Keep up the good work my fellow Dairylander! |

Thanks Benz, Clarita and Amate, and anyone else who may have popped in over here. I did finish up this little wall-hangy thing It's made from one-half of an 18 inch chunk of basswood that was splitting, I'm also attempting another relief carving, but I chucked it aside for a few weeks I love fall in Wisconsin, but I don't have much time for evening carving anymore, And that's about it for now, thanks for checking in. What have you |
