Howdy Cowboy,

Very nice! Thank you for posting this. For someone like me who is trying to learn how to carve it's great to see the steps involved and how the carving does progress from start to finish.

Howdy Pal
I quit them 25 years ago (well the bulls anyway) and I still get the aches and pains when the weather is bad.
