Hello all,

I am posting this for Walter T.

Walter carved this and I was giving him lessons on how to finish and paint a project.
This is how it turned out.

I have one I am finishing up for one of the ladys at Tender Paws.
When it is ready I'll also post it.

Looks fantastic Amigo! Need to tell everyone it was done with a pocket knife!

Yes my friend it was done with a knife blade not the carving bit.

Do you believe that??

The idea came from Michael T. POM for the month of January.
We just crved it and painted it.

Haven't been paying too close attention to the POM. The POM projects are nice, especially the earlier stuff, but I'm just not into the latest stuff coming out. Can't see spending $120 for 12 projects I may or may not make, would rather pay the premium for the ones I do like. This would be one of them.

I can understand or see your point.

Connie,

I just noticed there is a typo on the home page. Someone spelled "Purshase" instead of purchase at the top of the page. Didn't know where else to post this.

Took me forever to figure out where you were talking about, but I found it and corrected it. Thanks!

Looks like real bark with the colors you chose! Very nice outcome indeed, and I'm sure Walter and Martha love it, too!
