Could you post the picture of that hog head you carved from that cedar stump you found?

I think it was cedar. It was the one you showed me before you parted with it.

Here ya go Delt,

This was a piece of driftwood I bartered for near Gattlinburg, Tn.. I had been wanting to carve a pig and I saw this piece in a pile outside of a carvers shop. he sold it to me. Little did I know it was red cedar until I actually cut into it. When I realized it was cedar I stopped carving long enough to get a "before" pic. I knew the color was going to be great for the pig. BTW, this piece has a natural hollow cavity running through it.

Come on AL show some of your other work. Guys if you havent seen any of Al's work you are missing out. I purchased an SKS from Al last yr and was highly impressed with his carving ablities.

He aint a bad longbow/recurve shooter either!

I've never seen him shoot, but I have seen his work.

"Talented" is putting it mildly.
