This, one of my last 4 American carvings, is going to looking incredible. “Believe in yourself “ in Mongolian, and the wood is an incredible (but not endangered) hardwood called Chakte Viga, or orangeheart. Bear in mind it will be five times as colorful and vivid when finished….

Just added to my extended moving sale: A carpe diem proverb in Tai Tham. Walnut, roughly 48"x 14." One fascinating feature of this carving is that one of the panels has a bullet embedded in it, presumably fired into the tree before it was cut down. https://t.co/7vrD6t0LSp

I'm moving back to England, so I need to lighten my load even more, and I'm winnowing down my collection of carvings and Alphabets merchandise still farther. This is, of course, good news for you. Check out the bargains at https://t.co/7vrD6t1jHX and please share!
