Not a plug but....

Since I couldn't afford the Gibbs carvings on freakbay I decided to try carving one. I know they aren't as nice as the ones Stan made but they were fun making.

WOW! those are fantastic Mac
I bet they look even better in person. you have a great talent.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
