  1. I just wanted to tell you I enjoyed your article on the coffee tote in the journal.

      Thank you sir!  It is a fun, easy project that I use almost daily!

  2. I was reading over some of your comments, very interesting.  One I read you discussed lips and not cutting them.  Would this also apply to teeth.  I do some skulls and in the smaller sizes cutting just doesn’t seem to work.  Thanks for your help.

      I usually cut teeth, but only very lightly.  You can do them without cuts, but they can moosh around a little depending on your leather.

  7. If you could learn one skill, what would it be?  Check out learnleather.com and drop me a line.

      Well, I can't help with the first, but if I could, I could quit working and retire on my personal island!  GIMP design is a great idea, and I'll look into that.  As for carving in general, there are many video classes already available on that on my site.  Check them out.

      Got your message and sent a reply.  I know its hard to pick one which is why I started the business!  I'm just looking to find out what people want.  As far as figure carving is concerned, the ninja on my site is my work, so I like figure carving too!

      Lightningad, FB is a fast paced environment and it is mobile. That's the appeal. But, Chancey is right. This is where MY roots are, and it's time to get back to business after Sheridan.
