Elm creek, I'm sure that style could be done and it would offer a large area to show off the figure in the wood.

tj, I remember the conversation we had about woodworking and your dad, I remember that piece of wood also, it was a particularly striking piece of lumber. I always enjoy your photos, thanks for posting this one. And thanks also for comparing my work to that of Paul Jeager, after sticking myself yesterday with carving gouge I needed a boost.

Thanks much, Keith
