Couldn't carve a sun that small Thank you

Tip of the hat to you SIR !

I have to come back nearly every day and look at it . I am AMAZED !!!!!!

I am showing how green I am but what is chromexcel ? Chrome tanned ?

coaster for your coffee

Thank you very much ! Just help yourself to it butttttttttttt we may need pictures

Hmmm , that might not be far off the mark .

@doubleh Thank you ! @Bert03241 Thank you as well !

@ArkieNewbie Thank you ! Naw I used a hair tool on this one but up until recently I used a sharp awl . It really doesn't take long with either . ( side note ) I lived in Bald Knob and Judsonia a few years as a kid , hadn't been back that way in a long time .

You can make some stuff out of real small pieces . I have thought about saving the drops from my hole punch and if I ever think of some way to use them ... I will .

Thank you Fred ! I am , it should be illegal ..Thanks .

Sounds good , be sure and post some pictures when you get them made .

That is cool for sure ! I like the translucent lady in the foreground . Truely a keepsake !!!!!!

Me too , I got in the habit of wearing suspenders with a belt doing carpentry and having on pouches with every tool known to man in them . I'm a shoulder rig man as well !!

Thank you Pastor !! Those are pierced earring parts ( ie a bent stud and a back inside ) . I once was going to get rich making earrings seems I have a lot left LOL !

You should get at least 3 tries at those chaps ( if you were to need it )with all that hide Seriously , what plans have you for the rest ?

It all looks fine to me but that hammer strap is very nicely done ! That's a man that thinks like me ...... belt and suspenders

Thank you Sir !

literally Between hat bands and other things like this my poor old hats don't stand a chance !

@SusanC Looks like you have your info . Maybe I can help with the picture thing . If you have Windows paint , just open it and hit " file " in the upper left hand corner , find your picture and open it . You will see crop-- resize-- rotate just to the right of where you found file , hit rotate and choose which way you want to go Hope this helps .

@chuck123wapati Thank you very much ! @sparctek Thank you !! Yes i am learning and guidance is always welcome . I try and keep that in mind but I think I get caught up in where and how many decorative cuts and just totally forget about fading . Maybe time , confidence , and practice will get me to the point where I remember to fade out . Thank you for the tip , one of the many things I like about this group !!!!

As always NICELY done , I agree the second attempt looks better on the first design . and I may have to borrow ( steal ) that background on the other one

@battlemunky While he does seem just a little odd , I believe he knows his stuff It never crossed my mind to do it that way , 1cc to 5,6 ,or however many cc's of alcohol is how I was thinking of it . Thanks !!! Looks like I may need to invest in a book or two .

Very very NICE !!!

I think I told you I was going to try and steal this idea ........ well I tried and guess what , I can't carve that small . I still love the idea though and " the permit "
