A woodburning project I did long ago, that had too many photos, so now it's a blog. ;)

not to be picky … but this would be a good project ;) (just kidding ) – but seriously, you COULD choose 6 photos to upload to LJ for the project, and then post the rest of them just like you did here for the blog ;)

lol.

sorry, couldn’t resist.

love the wood burning, havent done that in a long long long long time…

Well, the weather HERE is pretty nice. What, is it hailing by you or something? lol

Your very artistic. I could never use the paddle, only because it would ruin it. I could see why it’s on your mother-in-law’s living room. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

TiffanyJeanne,
I’ve never done any wood burning so to speak, but I can tell that this took many, many ,many hours! I Love the subject matter as well. It appears that you included the Currituck and Bodie Island light houses as well as the Hatteras light house at Buxton. My only disappointment with the piece was the omission of the Ocracoke light house on the same said island. Those Outer Banks have been my souls sanctuary for over 50 years now. I only get down there about 3 times a year now, but my mind visits them daily, even after all these years. Congratulations on an excellent gift for your mother-n-law of whom I am exceedingly envious!

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis
