I was doing a little Computer file maintenance this morning...going through a lot of the photos of my carvings and I thought it would make a good post to show a few as they looked before they were painted. Individually they look fine but as a group they look really impressive.....at least I think so. It's too bad we can't keep them both ways, painted and unpainted, so we can handle and judge them both ways.

I take a ton of photos of each carving I do...a lot of them are posted on this blog. The reason I do this is.....well, just take a moment and check out old Charlie Red Hawk over here. Charlie's setting on a display shelf somewhere in someones collection, I'll probably never be able to see him or pick him up again and admire his good looks and sly smile. However, because I took so many photos of him from just about every angle possible as he materialized from a raw block of wood, I can still reflect back on how much fun it was to bring him to life and send him on his way. So, take a tip from me, don't wait till you finish a piece before snapping a few photos....keep that camera handly on the workbench so you can photograph the entire experience of producing your carvings. You won't regret it. And just like I did this morning, you'll be able to go back and relive that experience.

Anyway, in the Gallery are photos of a number of carvings I've produced over the past several years before the paint was applied. I hope you enjoy looking them over. And as always comments are always welcome.
