Marvelous carvings! Mine pale in comparison, but maybe one day...

Ah Donlon! What a joy you are to me to keep up with and see what you are up to. Thank you for posting these. I too am starting to creat some little carved things. For instance a small tornado looking piece of wood that a nurse picked up while we were deployed In Joplin for the American Red Cross as Disaster Mental Health Professionals. She asked me to carve it and I have. Need to varnish it and mount it. She's from New York City and had never met someone who carved before

Such an interesting and diverse craft you have displayed. You are really an artist. BV

Do you sell your masks? I would like a Woman of high rank Tlingit and Raven Shaman for my oldest son. DO you make them with holes in the eyes for the dancer? I am Tlingit.

These carvings are really exceptional. Excellent work.

What a treat to see your whole portfolio (or maybe most of it?) You are some carver! Jane

Nancy from Ristwtto Roasters here; finally got on your site; amazing! The family is getting ready for the day while marvelling at your work. I am especially taken with Frog Shaman. You have a true talent

I like it! Looks like a great way to share your work.

Nice Don. So did you get the 200MB account or is this the free 10-day trial? I went to the main index page on PBase and it looks like a really nice service. Keep me posted on your updates if you have already or do decide to go for the $23/year deal.

Thanks.
