Thanks Michael for the comments, it's been awhile I hope all is well! This was a fun project and I enjoyed working in the mountains of N.C. I still have a lot to learn but have found the right place to sharpen my skills. This was the first carving that I did since becoming a member of Vertical Artisans and being trained by Nathan. Good luck with your project and I can't wait to hear how it works out. Let's keep in touch! I see you install Elite Crete did the "Rodfather" train you? I was trained in N.C and Rod was a blast!

Jody..Yes, the rodfather WAS a blast! Learned alot from him. I don't live all that far from you..it would be good to work together...work is slow now..but I'm beating the bushes. If you get a job and need a hand..let me know. I love the work and am always looking for ways to sharpen my skills. I'm working on fau boi now..fake wood. Will be putting a 'tree' on the corner of my shop with branchs over rocks.

right now it is just cinder block. Going to take some pics and start posting them. Keep up the good work.
