That is a wonderful piece of wood and artwork. It’s so subtle, yet beautifully done.

Thank you Jack and Helluvawreck nice to hear from you. Jack this piece was a learning tool for a up coming piece that requires many folds with flowing lines. practice, practice, then practice some more.

wow, very impressive.
about your feeling as Michael Angelo – Michael, about the name you have a half way behind you and according to your 20 projects which are presented here, you did very nice way toward the first Michael. :)

Beautiful use of those roots, you have a very good eye and imagination to see those shapes in the wood, and
a great ability to carve and make those shapes emerge so that we can share them. I started to carve a few
months back, and while I will never achieve this point, I can appreciate what you have done to shape these
sculptures, thank you for sharing.

So great to hear from so many very talented people. It just makes a person so charged up and inspirational to meet the day!!!! Gus so happy to hear your adding carving to your excellent wood craft (art). Let’s see segmented bowls with carving. Jumping Jersey Christmas that would be knock down goregeous. Well as always keep on being creative people!!!

Good job Mike. Your style is really coming through and you’re doing some nice pieces. Just wondering, how much planning do you put into your pieces? I mean like with stumps, they’re gonna be different everytime. Sometimes I really plan my projects but other times I just go for it. I always tell people “it’s only wood”. I get some strange looks. But I feel like when I just go for it sometimes the piece just comes alive on it’s own. Just wondering what your aproach is.
