You do great work! As a carver, I can really appreciate the amount of labor involved, but it is a labor of love.

I like working with the natural shapes of the wood.

Congrats on your work!

That piece is one fantastic 'work of art'.
I have a friend who makes cedar pieces, & I am always
on the lookout for 'natural' curved pieces.

Do you make walking sticks as well, and if so would you be willing to sell one?

You do beautifully artistic work!!

Thanks for your comments Cuban,

I have made a few walking sticks but don't make them anymore. I see that Fossis and Riverrat make some nice ones though.

Thanks for taking a look Don,

I have not had much time lately to visit the forums. I have been awful busy getting my firewood in. Also with a few other life storms.

Hope to get out and take some fresh pictures soon.

I don't know if we have any juniper around here but we have a 5500 acre ranch full of manzanita. A lot of it is huge and twisted like your raw piece. If I had your talent I'd try doing it with the manzo. What do you do to keep it from splitting after it ages some? Beautiful work!
