Those look great! Matts a lazy SOB!! (When it comes to wanting to make handcarves and actually doing it!) If he got off his duff he could do some really great work!!

He bought the stuff.....gotta get off his duff!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I fergot about that Eddie.....thanks....
I'll admit I'm lazy getting going on the building....but work is keeping me busy this year as it is my busiest year ever....calls, estimates, selling and actually doing the work takes up a boatload of time...nevermind trying to keep things around the house tidy for wifey.
I am going to do some this winter....I'm slow to start anything...I've been gathering info though...
Thanks again Eddie...your one of the most generous people Ive met...
