Thank you very much. My suggestion to you would be write down every little technique you learn from others and the ones you discover yourself. Make sure to include a detailed description of how to achieve the look for each technique. It's the little details that make your work come alive. I've been doing this for a year now and I can tell you that your work will improve very fast. Watch the videos and don't be affraid to experiment. You should purchase the additional videos by Mike Vernelson on the artisans channel. The information in those videos will go a very long way to improving your abilities.

No problem at all.

Scott, I was just looking at your stuff. Man I am blown away with you talent dude. Very cool stuff, love all the pirate stuff as well AURRRR. The Tiki looks great, very traditional, something I am going to try soon. I have been influenced buy a few artist friends of mine and never really did to much of the traditional tiki carvings. You Got Talent Dog, Very nice stuff and most of all unique  and original. Got company coming over right now, but would love to talk more about some of your work. Have a great evening, by the way were are you at? I am in Melbourne

Took The texture very well and carved out nice, The way I mixed it was a bit grainy but I did not use the par-alight. I used a pre mixed vermiculight product and stucco sand. Loved how sticky it was and made it a bit creamy as well. Just nice to know it is going to stay were I put it, hope this tiki is cool. Think I have a good flow going, My winch is screaming for me to come eat  Dinner gata roll.

It's going, buddy. I've spent these past weeks gathering all I need to do countertops, carving and making my own sink molds. As you can see, I got a practice wall up and had my first day of carving since my 'hands on project.' Man, was it a blast! Tomorrow and the rest of the week I will be making my first custom sink mold and hopefully countertop as well. All I am doing now is practicing to build the confidence/experience I need to make my showroom top notch. I might have some funds allocated to building something in the showroom next month. That would be real nice. Next time you come down we need something cool to do. Perhaps a pillar. Thanks for the comments.
