Cool job.

Sorry, I see -18. Way worse than mine :-)

All of your projects are masterpieces Jordan and this one is no exception!

Hey Jordan….very excellent as always…..

-- Every step of any project should be considered your masterpiece if you want the finished product to reflect the quality of your work. http://www.FineArtBoxes.com

Wow, just doesn’t seem to cut it on this one (and on all the others that you have shared with us). The color and detail here is extraordinary. You truly have the eye and the enormous talent to bring out the beauty in wood and gourd.

My shop is only a balmy 20 degrees without the fire going….and I find my fingers getting numb and clumsy at that temperature. I’ve found that I get less work done in the shop now because I end up standing by the stove trying to warm up my hands more then working on the project…..but -18….brrrr…I would have to stand in the stove to get warm in that temp….thankfully, I have lots of “oops” pieces to burn and keep the temp up – so my lack of talent in that regards can be a blessing in disguise….....lol.

Awesome!! This is an excellent use of the gourd’s natural shape. Another first class project Jordan!

Greg- looking at your boxes gave me a super idea for adding more sculptural elements to some boxes I’m making today. Do you use a rotary power tool with rough bits to rough out your sculptural elements?
Jordon- are the gun and holster carved? Seems impossible, but you are a master of the impossible.

That’s a Pistol Packin Mama!

Reminds me of that song, that most of you do not know of…
... Lay that pistol down babe,
... Lay that pistol down,
... de da de da de da…
... Lay that pistol down.
(can’t remember all of the words… it HAS been a long time!)

Jordan, you have really DONE IT AGAIN!

Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful art with us…

You are a true master!
