Yup, those are camera phone pictures. I don't have internet service at home right now so I have to send them by my phone cause I don't want to mess around to much at work (Gov't comp).

I'll get better pics up soon but they won't make it look any better!! I added some diamonds last night. Seeks, you're the man for doing so many on waffle head. It took me a while to figure out how to do them and I didn't even do that many.

Just finished this one quick, running out of time. I tried doing a little experimenting too. The first couple of pics are just stained dark walnut, then when that dried I decided to sand the higher parts and stain with regular walnut. It really didn't work as planned and it is hard to tell from the pics but here you go. Also, the back looks funny because I ended up digging out some bug tracks but tried to make it look somewhat okay but I wasn't really worried about the backside as much.

Way to go Craig! That is quite a job for your 4th or 5th guy. I am really happy for you. Now get that sucka bagged up (air)tight and get him to a walk-in freezer for a 7 day stay. I would like to see this one be able to be kept inside. Once again, wonderful work. I am very proud of you!!

Whahhooo! Nice carve! As G said, great for only your 4th or fifth! I'd be proud to display that in my house.
