    He's so cute. I'm pretty sure I saw him on the yelliw brick road with Dorothy. Oh, that would be a fun set! Tin man, Lion, Dorothy with her basket & Toto along with Scarecrow.

Your videos are great as they are NOT tooo detailed, but just the right amount to give us the idea of your carvings, yet, give us the option to add our own personal effects!!! I'm sure you do this intentionally, and I, like many others appreciate this!!! You are a great carver and inspire sooo many non-professional carves/amateur carvers to do something different and fun to do!!!

He whittled on his knee with that leather covering his whole lap. I got the leather piece and then you said not to use your lap for obvious reasons. I think I will still use the leather piece to protect my table. Thank you.

I'm constantly balancing my ADD with my OCD lol! such that I have trouble leaving all the little facets that your carvings have that make them so whimsical and interesting. Mine come out looking like a poor attempt at realism. But I'm learning. You have such a neat way of "chunking" out pieces that get right to the point so to speak. But again, I just love your work!
