[Woodcarver] Dan's cowboy

[Merrilee Johnson]

What great hands!  The rest was pretty good too, Daniel! LOL!  How was their 
class?  I wish I could go to one.  I did get to see one of their videos on 
faces and I want to get it.  The face I made on a stick turned out very good 
compared to the others I have tryed.  Some day...
