[Woodcarver] Some excitement for me

[Linehan718 at aol.com]

I am so excited and starting to feel like a real artist.  I am being  
commissioned to carve the scales of justice for a Law Office in  Chicago.  I will 
carve it here in NYC and have it shipped to chicago ahead  of me.  They are 
flying my son and I out to Chicago(actually staying in  Munster, Ind., a suburb of 
chicago) for 4-5 days to do the installation and  unveiling of the carving.  
It will be sometime in mid August.   Imagine that.  Doesn't that sound real 
impressive.  Alright, alright  I'm not exactly famous yet.  The Lawyer I am doing 
it for is my uncle  Tom.  But still,  I am very excited.  I of couse, won't 
be able  to charge him for the carving, though I know he will insist.  I think 
a  vacation in exchange for a carving is payment enough.  Just had to share my 
 good news.  I will be asking some questions of the list I'm sure.  In  fact 
I already have one.  I am debating carving the chains which hold the  scales 
or incorporating real chains into the carving.  Real chains would  look nice 
but if  they going to rust and discolour over time I would rather  carve them. 
The carving will be light colored wood and will be attached to  a very dark 
wooden area outside of the Law office.  So I will only consider  real chains if 
they would keep their shiny color.  If anyone has any idea  about how to do the 
chains I would appreciate  it.              thanks so much
