He asked me a little while ago for one of my poles incorporating a Shecky. It's four-feet tall and around six inches in diameter.

I may buy a stash and leave them outside to weather for a few months before carving them.

You've done an excellent job, particularly considering the trickiness of carving Shecky. I must add that's it's nice to know my money is going towards the upkeep of that damn fine car rather than disappearing into some big company's annual profits. Many thanks! Trader Woody

I used to date a girl from Ireland who lived in Birmigham named Janet Mcmanus. I just realized where you were from. When we were going out I worked for a subsidiary of Delta so I flew over to the UK a bunch and saw my fair share of Birmingham! Later

Thats a great ride, and a very worthy object to spend your money on

Oh yeah, the Nostalgia Nats in July and Hot Rod Drags in September are my two favourite meets in the year. We usually get there after work on Friday so that we've got an extra night of drinking. Assuming nothing goes wrong with the car in between now and then, I'll be doing the Flathead Meltdown in the coupe. Stratford is only about 25 miles from home, so it'd be wrong to miss it! You going?
TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Fri, May 13, 2005 11:32 PM Just got the pole - thanks Artiki! (Yeah, it's taken a long time to get it - I was going to pick it up, but we just haven't driven anywhere near Birmingham for months) It looks amazing 'in the flesh' - great detail on Shecky (which must have been a swine to carve). When I asked if it could be done, I kind of forgot Shecky is holding a mini Shecky, making the carving that much more difficult. Anyway, it's at the top of my stairs right now, but will soon move down into the Tiki bar. (Sorry, the metal bird is no substitute for the hot rod!) Trader Woody
