Sweeeeet! Great job on the mosaics too. What did the doctors say about the elbow?

Thanx ATP! :drink:
Poly, Dang YOU'VE been on here Soooo long. Good to hear from ya. The wood, I dunno actually...not even sure where I got it, I got a bunch of logs here and there around the house. I thought it was pine, the way the bark was...but has to be some kind of Oak? All I know, is when I added some urethane to it, it turned WAY darker, and got a REAL nice tone to it. Surprise! Had to stain the Pine base just to match it.
Thanx CY! :drink:
BT:Thanks! Got a steroid injection on the arm, which isn't good in the long run, but DAMN it feels better!

"I got a bunch of logs here and there around the house"

Ha! Now that's a statement from a true carver! I think we all can relate to that one! Glad to hear your arm is better and you're carving away. The world needs MANY more surfintiki carvings!

I agree - it turned out an absolutely gorgeous color on an outstanding carving!

Awesome! Very inspiring work!

It's been a while since I've seen you post a log, but if we have to wait for beauties like this, I guess I'll wait!

Nice deep, clean cuts! And the mosaic top puts it over the top!

It's been months since I've done a log... But your post is got me chomping at the bit to get into one!

Hey Lake, good to hear from you too! Thanks for the words. Get a chompin'!!! It always feels so good when you sink a chisel into that wood!
I've also been told that Flax oil is really good for tendonitis, I'm definitely gonna try it out...gotta keep carving! :)
