This update responds to my question! I imagine the difficulty of the work when the wood has dried. But I think, in view the pics, that you have a significantly higher level to meet the challenge, it is clear that your hand with a gouges is provided and accurate.
I like the raw surface, it shows the mastery of the work by hand and also to the sharpening... I would like to see it more closely!
Good continuation, good work!

Mooney - Good to hear from you! been laying low?
thanks for the encouragement.

Are you sure you aren't part Tlinket Indian? That totem pole could have been done by a master, 100 years ago!
Awesome work!

You Really need to HURRY and finish this guy before the wood gets too dry. While you are hurrying, don't forget to take Lots of photoz for us mere mortals down here. Incredible work.
