Your wood burning is so gentle that it is just lightly toasted wood pressing and I think that shows you have a real mastery of the technique.

[@Afrikitty]

WoW, Mike, you put as much thought and work into carving a tiny Pike, as you do when you're carving a big walking stick. When you had your finger on the Pike's mouth after you had done the teeth, I was half expecting the thing to chomp down on your finger....Phew!! Anyway, it looked absolutely spectacular when you had finished it. Well, I hope you are coping OK with all the "stuff" that is going on in this country, my friend. I pray God's blessings and peace over you and your family. Take care now. Kind regards. Liz.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much Liz! I had a really good time making that pike, but I had a lot more fun catching the big one! I'm ignoring the "stuff" as much as possible, and just enjoying life! I appreciate your comment and hope you have a great weekend! God bless!
