Due to a major physical issue that came along yesterday I may not be able to
carve for another day or 2 It just depends on when it goes away.I have surgery this friday and that will slow me down a week or 4
I am unable to carve beginning yesterday for a few days. I get these attacks that last a few days or so where I can do nothing physical.After which I'll be fine for awhile, Surgery on friday will slow me down a bit but I will be working on Hale Tiki and others on the list also.day by day.
Ben

Ben-
here's to a timely recovery. You've been doing a lot of great work recently, and I guess it's just your bodys way of saying "take it easy" for a while.
Like Kooche said, I'm sure you'll be on your feet and back at your carving station in no time.
I can't wait to get my carving in the mail and be the coolest kid on the block! (I've been a good boy and saving my pennies!)

From one Ben to another.
You are a Picasso brush. A Picasso brush that is missing a few bristles. Relax and take the time to get those few bristles back. When the Picasso brush is full of bristles, it will create to the fullest!

This strikes me as a very interesting piece considering you enter into surgery tomorrow. There's a lot of feeling coming from this simplicity. The figure looks as if it's "wincing" and maybe clutching something small. A comfort piece perhaps?
Just a beholder comment. Good luck and hope to meet you sometime.
Aloha.
Mrs. Boo

Thanks Aaron and everyone.
I'm home and all went pretty well. Dr. says to do Nothing for 5 weeks this time, he Doesn't want to have to re-do this a 3rd time.( Sounds like a wife!) I should be back carving sooner than that.
Thanks
