  Howdy WC.

That is some beautiful tooling my friend.
Your carving is exquisite and your basketweave always smokes my head.
Great work and good luck with the judges.

Talk about 3D and you don't even need to wear silly cardboard glasses.  WOW!!   WC, leather carving doesn't get any better than that...how does he do it?

Very nice sampling of different tooling styles and shapes,looks like nice coating on it to..I would think that's what they will be looking for in a piece,should bring a nice high rating.

Another OUTSTANDING piece of work WC; if you don't win I can hardly wait to see what beats this

[larrupin]

That is some beautiful work!

I especially like how you get the edges of leaves undercut to really make them pop.

That's how I want to carve when I grow up!

As always Cowboy, that is awesome! You, among others, are very inspirational to us beginners you know that!?? 

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That's a really fine piece, WC. I like the background you chose for the center. It really offsets the rest beautifully.
