Your carvings are just beautiful. I was wondering how much it would cost to have you carve a lono just like the one Grog is getting. Could I get it by Mothers Day? Would you consider a trade? xxxooo

I got a new camera so I thought I would post a picture of the swag lamp I just finished. I have carved one before like it so it is not really a new carving.

Wow! Those are gorgeous. You 've got that Witco style down pat. You must have a copy of this book.

Thanks BK as for the carving in the middle I cant take credit for that luckily or I would not have been able to marry her.... (in most states)
Grog bueno, I have had that book for about 9 years and it still took me 4 years to even come close to the Witco wood grain.
Surfintiki thanks it cool to see how the grain unfolds in a piece.
Benz your compliments are always appreciated. The truth is I worked out of town all summer so I did not have a lot of free time. I am still working 50 hours a week but at least I am home and have time to carve at night and on the weekends. I hope to be around more often.
