Butternut Indian

Hi Mike,

I hope you do well at the show. This is a very nice carving. It takes both talent and artistic ability to produce something like this. Well done.

Thanks for the post.

Looks like a winner Mike. What is the size?

Nice piece Mike! Well done thats for sure. I’m sure you will win a blue with it.
I also have a show that im intering a piece into on the 8th. Very good luck to you!

Mike you are truly a gifted craftsman. I really enjoy the carvers that post here, and your work is certainly on par with our best carvers. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your show.

Be prepared to accept “Best of Show”. I like to carve, but I can’t like that. You’ve got some great talent there and this piece shows it! Wonderful work and attention to details. Let us know how you did at the show – although I suspect I know the answer anyway…

Very, very nice!

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

beautiful work. the carving is very life-like !

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

excellent. I like carving Indians, but never tried a full bust. I’ve limited my limited ability to relief and walking cane faces. I would like to try this myself at some point.

Wish I could see your booth at the show, hope it goes well for you.

A fan,
Mark

I’m sorry I missed this earlier.

Seeing the one you posted today, brought me to this one.

A great creation.

You can’t ask for anything much better than this.

By the way, how did you make out in the competition?
