John, I see now that you do not only do great work in metal but also in wood!

Nice, two woods that are not so easy to carve - maple and padauk.
I am guessing that where you live it is sometimes just too cold to go outside... We are getting a cool night tonight, down to the mid 40's!

Great work, John. In my opinion, that is many times harder to do than metal work.

Down here the Butternut is sometimes called "White Walnut". It's a very light wood.

I made a mantle from butternut for our nicer cabin here. It's 5' long, 10" wide, and 3" thick. It weighs less than 10 pounds.

I just don't have the patience some of you guys have. Even if I had the skill, which I don't, I could never take the time needed to create something this nice. Maybe that's why I don't have the skill?
