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

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.
