I really like that. I think the low relief carving really sets off that bowl. Did you carve that with your shoes on or off? Just kidding. It's so cold in my shop right now I have to turn in boots but I sure do like to wear sandles and wish it was warm enough to do so.

>Jim, I like this. After you carve, how do you get the sanding done?

>Glen: We use broken glass bottles of various sizes as scrapers to smooth the carving and what little sanding is necessary is done by hand.

>Nice color Jim. Nice carving. Maybe a different color background for more contrast next time? And you only used glass to "sand" it? That is some really nice finishing work!
