No, I never get tired of seeing pictures of figures and figures in the making.

Thank you Donald and Dave,
I feel I have made some good friends here even though we have never actually met. I have 12 Bd. Ft of Basswood on the way here via UPS and am busy working on patterns while paint on the current figure dries. I am only days away from completing this guy. Hope to have a few pics later today. Jim |

I'm glad to read you have more wood coming to build another!
Here's some more pics from Jim - the figure is coming along very nicely!;

Jim:
Am very impressed with your first effort. Jeez, when it comes to carving, I'm happy not to mess up the Thanksgiving turkey. Keep up the great work! Bob P.S. Good luck with the job hunt. I'm sure something will come your way quickly. Can't keep a good man down! |

After every storm comes the sun. It's shining bright on you. I'll see if I can send some more your way.

Thanks Donald, we can really use it now. It is currently snowing here and the heating element went out on the dryer today. The clothesline is still functional but we will need some more of that sunshine!
An update on the figure. I have to paint the eyes, apply the wig and staple on the arms and legs. Nearly done! I don't want to jinx myself but it should be finihed by Monday eve. Pics soon. Jim |

My wife gets credit for the socks. I guess she thought his feet were cold. Hope to finish this guy tomorrow. Jim |

Thanks Dave,
With this project nearly completed I have started working on 2 more ( In the pattern design stage). One is a Marshall type and the other something from my own mass of grey matter. Back to work. Jim |

Fantastic!
I'd be happy if I could just finish the one I've been working on.
