Sorry i have not been on in a long time, school and work is eating up too much of my time. hopfully i can carve more, as right now it's like months between carvings. well i did manage to carve a bit over spring break. this guy i'm having troublewith the polyurthane setting up. i think the wood has too much oil in it or something, because the poly seems a little tacky still.

REally Nice stuff, I'm really impressed, really sweet!The poly thing is possibly the cool temp, when poly's Will Not setup. That or a second coat was applied before the first coat dried. Nice wood on the tacky one.
