Excellent pieces David ... believe you have the faces figured out ... really Nice!

You can see more detail on almost every new work.

The polyurethane just finished drying on this piece. It's a 13" of rustic round Basswood. My SIL is giving it to an old fellow in their church that teaches in FFA and has been involved with it since he was in high school. I hope he likes it....

That is a great piece, no matter how I try I never get those clean line like you do. Good job and I’m sure the man who receives it will love it.

Thank you, I actually have to take very fine sandpaper (2000 grit) and modify my wire burning tips in order to get the fine or broad burn that
I want. Most of the eagle and the owl were done with a tip the size of a small sewing needle.

Time to start getting ready for the holidays with my inventory.
The last one is part of a set of coasters I'm making for my granddaughter Grace. CRU, pronounced CREW is short for CRUSADER, the mascot for Grace's college, Mary Hardin-Baylor University in Belton, TX.

Great work David, I like the splash of color added.

It's hard to get color to blend when you have a burn line in the way but I
think it came out nice anyway.

David, you artistic skill is getting better and better at this ... Beautiful work!

That hummingbird came out fantastic.

I haven't done much lately but I have managed to get a few finished.

great work!

Quite a few!

The eagle in this one is from a picture taken by a friend, then I changed the background.

Finished a new tiger for my brother and a new Santa Claus.

Amazing work David! You have really become accomplished at your chosen art form!

Beautiful art David!

Here are a few more I've finished. If anyone wants one as a gift or for yourself many of them are
available if I still have it. Just send me a PM.

Great work, the shading in the squirrel and line work in the Santa are top notch!

Here are a few more I just finished.

Great work, David. The Christmas Eve one is my favorite. Never grow old.

Great work as usual.

This should be all of my Christmas work. Three of them were ordered but the castle was something I wanted to do.

Wow David, I have overlooked this thread until now. What amazing talent you have. Great job on all of them.
