Hi there, hope your spirits are up going into the holidays. Wish all of you happy holidays and all the best for the coming New Year.  Wow, last message on the carving-section has cobwebs all over. Its time to get something going here again.  My holiday project starting tomorrow will be James Georgia Coral  And hopefully getting closer to the finish-line on my ongoing FA projects.  And from the same piece of stone, something a bit more delicate for a change.....  As said, happy holidays and wish you a rocking 2015, Kurt |

Great carving. That last piece I would save as a specimen. Very interesting. To late for specimen.  Stage two  But the loop will be to fragile for conventional wearing, so its likely to end up as a mantle-piece. |

I am astonished that you can carve that delicate fire agate to such thin sections. kk got patience and gentle touch. Geeeentle touch. Prodigy.... Uh Kurt...they have no snowflakes if Florida |

Uh Kurt...they have no snowflakes if Florida Its not that delicate/thin, its just that in the loop, the connections are often very loose and twisting something just a little the wrong way could easily pull them apart. Will need to finish up as good as I can and then possibly reenforce with epoxy wherever deemed weak. Rained out today, so no cutting of your coral. Dang it, I was so sure that you are in Florida.  Will have to make changes to description. |

Merry Christmas Kurt.
I have a bunch of projects lined up for the holiday break, including a couple carved pieces.
Hopefully I will get to them AND take pics, my photo skills are sadly lacking.

Merry Christmas Kurt. I have a bunch of projects lined up for the holiday break, including a couple carved pieces. Hopefully I will get to them AND take pics, my photo skills are sadly lacking. Looking forward to. Pics are always a problem, but has not stopped me from trying.  Bad pics are still better than none!  |
