Recently, somebody asked me if carving is easy, I said yes, you just have to take away what’s not supposed to be there, lol

I really laughed when I saw the last photo. How perfect, two successes together. One a treasure hunt and one an artistic treasure. Reminds me of a Gecko bowl we once owned, wood is even better.

Time to think up your next project.

Cypress knees are woody, conical protrusions that grow from the roots of cypress trees. They are found in the southeastern United States, especially in swamps.

Found 1

H

Hi Wendy. Lil j said hello. No trips planned, yet. Nothing in the works yet, time to look at my wood stock and come up with something.

H

Found this while golf ball hunting!

No idea what kind of wood it is.

A friend of mine refers to that as “tree wood”

Stripped the bark off, sanded the long end. The root is not a hard and the rest, so it may break off but let’s see what we can do 🤷🏼‍♂️

Looks like a sea horse

Something didn’t look right with my last walking stick, not enough shadow on the sides of the face, quick fix, “GO DEEPER” I swear I heard Will yelling

You are into Manely books. I've read all the Lee Child books and I like those about snipers. Nick Petrie books are really good but need to be read in order. Same with Barry Eisler about a hit man. These are even better than Childs books. Tom Cruise should not have played Reacher but the guy in the streaming series is doing a good job and looks the part.

I like the eagle. I like all your projects a lot.

Wendy

U are right about the new reacher and the lil Tom C lol

Thanks for the advice on the books

Well the seahorse is out

It broke

IMG_3767

Not sure what to do with it

OH OH!

I'm trying to figure out how to proceed on my latest painting. I almost destroyed it with a second outrigger. We both will have to figure it out and get back to work.
