So you've been a forum member for four years and this is your first post?

I recognize the picture and the name. Is this the first picture you've posted?

The project looks great by the way! Good job! Post some more!

This is my first time to post myself. Capt Barry

I think you mean this is the first time to post a photo or attachment?

You have commented on threads before. That is a post, just not an attachment.

Or maybe first time to start your own thread?

Either way, you did great carving, starting a thread and posting!!

Capt Berry, that looks very nice. I love nautical designs.

I'm guessing that you meant it's the first time you started thread. ?.

That is beautiful, I have been looking for something nautical to make for my father-in-law who had lived all his life around the Chesapeake Bay and now lives outside Denver and haven't seen anything else nearly as nice as that.

Great job and layout thanks for showing it!

I was struck by the way the grain of the wood worked to enhance the picture. The dark grain worked as the horizon with non-prominent grain for the lower sky and the more prominent grain as the cloud cover.

I really try and work the grain all the time. Free pattern from Mother Nature. Capt Barry

Capt B., You can't beat free. Great carve.

Capt B. Good luck with the hurricane, I lived in Fla. and been through a number of them. My only advise is if they tell you to leave, please do.
