March 20, 20179 yr comment_103146 It's covered pretty well, I think it's great. I do like that coloring you have chosen. Report
March 20, 20179 yr comment_103147 I think the dark stain did a really good job of camouflaging the area. Report
March 20, 20179 yr comment_103148 WOOOOWHEEE,nice, if I didn't know it is there I still don't see it. What color is that Cordoba? If you want to throw that one away and try again just send it to me. Herb Report
March 20, 20179 yr Author comment_103149 Herb this is a dye stain about as strong as you can get. I have had this for many years and don't remember who made it. I used three different colors applied at three different times. I edged it with an almost black color to help cover. I did just like you do an inlay so the edges are almost always visible. A filler would have edged better but harder covering the color. A think a relative will be the recipient. Report

March 20, 20179 yr comment_103181 Wow! You'd never know. It's beautiful. Great repair job. They say the mark of a craftsman is how well he disguises his mistakes. Report
March 23, 20179 yr comment_103497 Your carving talent is world class. Would you ever consider leading a class? Report
March 23, 20179 yr comment_103499 You have proven you're a good woodworker. Any woodworker that is worth their salt will quickly point out any mistake they have made in a project. You did wel to cover it and I guarantee you that no one (short of you) will even notice. Nice job. Report

Do I have to tell them I only use an electric grinder And not own any knives, And I only been doing this for less than 2 years. Hey I am in class for myself as I speak!! One thing about carving, you know instantly when you screw up!! And after looking at your location you will have to get up pretty early each morning to make it here by 9 am.. The main thing I would require is every student will have to be older than me....in case there is any arguments I want to be able to whup somebody...one more thing, all who attends will have to be as deaf as me also. Ron I didn't highlight the bad places, I'm no fool. Michael I will say that is a good compliment but hey, all a person has to do is keep grinding till it looks right... I will change the pendulum when it gets made! Report
