              Dick, the relief cutting and carving is great. Still working on the lion from a long time ago. (the fourth try, three others in the firewood barrel).

              When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

                    Thanks guys for your interest and your kind comments. Lance, the feathers were cut and carved separately. [A little tribute to Jim Sawyer] They were then glued to the chestnut board after everything else was cut and carved directly on the board. Gordie, the original project and pattern appeared in Creative Woodworks & Crafts, September 2006, and is by one of my favorite designers, Marilyn Carmin. The original design is much simpler and I modified and added to it. Thanks again, Dick
