| Re: Finally!! Finished carving a stick :) Outstanding Job! The burning/carving combination came together beautifully. You are definitely a master of either art. It looks like a several year project! |

| Re: Finally!! Finished carving a stick :) Thanks everyone! I thought I'd never finish that stick! It is the most detailed carving that I have ever done. I really enjoyed working on it because I had to carve a whole bunch of animals that I have never carved before. The experience made it all worth it.Now I just have to talk myself into giving it up  I get way too attached to my carvings! 8)Oh well, on to other carvings! I still have at least 3 more sticks to carve this year, and I'm hoping to do 6 or 7. We'll see how that goes. Donna

| Re: Finally!! Finished carving a stick :) Thanks Makenchips and EEzebra! All of the photos on those two albums (posted above) are the same stick. It was commissioned by a good friend for a friend of hers. All of the different things on the stick were requested. Here is a list of what is on it: Jumping bass on top 4 portraits of his family a wild hog, a Brahma bull, Wild turkey, jumping bass relief deer rabbit snake lizard turtle gator 2 frogs some decorative borders, and his name. So for this stick, it was all requested and I had to figure out how to get it done Most of the sticks I carve are up to me how I do them, with maybe one or two requests for a certain carving or burning. Actually, most of the sticks I have carved have been surprize gifts for friends and family. I'll be working on a Schipperke (dog breed) stick that I started last year, it needs to be finished by June. Then I have to start a mermaid stick. Both commissioned. I'm hoping to learn to carve MUCH faster soon Donna

| Re: Finally!! Finished carving a stick :) Excellent work Pyrogite! You have an great talent. Out of curiosity, do you work with power and/or hand tools for your carvings? |
